“Maybe it would have been nice if he went and had a backdrop with a burning car”

Media Matters

This is a senior adviser to Donald Trump, former Congressman Jack Kingston, on CNN, trying to defend Trump’s “outreach” to African Americans, and it’s almost unbelievable. I say “almost,” because at this point nothing that comes out of this campaign is really unbelievable any more.

The whole interview is bizarre and disconnected, but the most jaw-dropping part is when CNN host Brianna Keilar asks Kingston why Trump was doing “outreach” to black Americans in communities that are almost exclusively white, and Kingston replies with, “Maybe it would have been nice if he went and had a backdrop with a burning car.”

Now that there? That’s some quality “outreach!”

This has been your WTF Trump moment of the day.
