Airbnb said the incident was "abhorrent and unacceptable"

(CNN) Airbnb said it has permanently banned a host who, while canceling a reservation, made a racist remark and referenced President Donald Trump.

Dyne Suh said she had reserved an Airbnb rental in Big Bear on February 17, and had clarified with the host that she could bring two extra friends to the reservation, she told CNN affiliate KTLA
