“I don’t know who Lil Jon is,” Trump answered flatly. The reporter responded that Jon was on the show in 2011 and 2013. Surprised, the President said, “Oh, he was? OK. Oh, I see. I don’t know… I would never do that, and I don’t use racist remarks, and you know what, if I did, you would’ve known about it.”
The President insisting, “I have never used racist remarks.”
