Watch Live Stream of Donald Trump in Cleveland Heights: Boxing Promoter Don King Uses Racial Slur
Trump is appearing with local pastor Darrell Scott and former boxing promoter Don King.
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — Flamboyant former boxing promoter Don King made incendiary comments throughout his introduction of Donald Trump at local pastor Darrell Scott's church in Cleveland Heights on Wednesday, saying, "Every white woman should vote for Donald Trump. Not Donald Trump the man, but to knock out the system to get their rights."
He prefaced the comment by saying that white women and people of color had been systematically denied their rights and punctuated his remarks with a racial slur.
King also said that all African-Americans should vote for Trump, saying he had been told to emulate white people to achieve success. "If you were poor, you were a poor negro ... I would use the N-word. If you were rich, you were a rich negro," he told the audience.
