MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough claimed that President Trump’s twitter response to LaVar Ball after freeing his son from a Chinese prison contained “racist overtures.” Ball and President Trump have been in a media feud the last few days after the president brokered the freedom of Ball’s son LiAngelo and two other UCLA basketball players from prison in China, where they were held on theft charges.
“Two things. One, it is so important for journalists, reporters, editors to understand that so often Donald Trump says outrageous things to shock,” Scarborough said.
He then stated, “It’s a great propaganda tool, historians say. That’s part one of it. The second part is, of course, there’s racist overtures here where the black man was not appreciative of what the white man did for him,” attempting to categorize Trump’s tweets as a racist response toward Ball.
