Wallace's remark comes as the president's comment has dominated cable news on Thursday night and Friday and even resulted in National Urban Radio Network White House correspondent and CNN contributor April Ryan shouting a question at Trump during a Martin Luther King Jr. commemoration asking if he "was a racist."

"It was a dumb remark," Wallace said of Pelosi's "five white guys" comment to anchor Sandra Smith on Fox's "America's Newsroom."

John Kelly John Francis KellyMORE Sunday " host continued. "It was a dumb remark, but I have to say, in all fairness, it’s a parking ticket compared to what the president allegedly said.” "It was representative of the identity politics that Democrats play. Instead of talking about these five individuals who are having this meeting — it was the top vote counters in the House and the Senate, both Republican and Democrat, and also the chief of staff,at the White House," the "Fox News" host continued. "It was a dumb remark, but I have to say, in all fairness, it’s a parking ticket compared to what the president allegedly said.”

"Chris, I’ll remind everybody that the President said he didn’t use that language," Smith said. "Dick Durbin was in the room and he says he did.”



“Again, the President has not specifically denied that. He has specifically denied that he said, ‘Why do we need more Haitians? Get them out.’ On the s-hole remark, he hasn’t specifically denied that," Wallace noted.
