Penn Jillette: Trump said 'racially insensitive things' during 'Apprentice' tapings
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 08/14/18 10:31 AM EDT

Comedian and magician Penn Jillette said in a new interview that he heard President Trump "say racially insensitive things that made me uncomfortable" during tapings of "Celebrity Apprentice" as new claims from former contestant Omarosa Manigault Newman make headlines.

Jillette, who was a contestant on the show in 2013, told Vulture in an interview published Tuesday that Trump would "ramble" during tapings of his former reality TV show.

“I don’t think he ever said anything in that room like ‘African-Americans are inferior’ or anything about rape or grabbing women, but of those two hours every other day in a room with him, every 10 minutes was fingernails on chalkboard," Jillette said. "He would ask one cast member if he’d rather have sex with this woman or that woman."

Okay...this is disturbing.  Penn Jillette is a very honorable man.

But note that it's "racially insensitive" -- which is different from what Omarosa is pushing.

Boy...that's a surprise....NOT!  Everyone knows Trump is a horn dog.  I don't like it...but he is what he is.  And hearing it from the atheist Jillette....I take it with a grain of salt.

So... Trump's own mouth is his own worst enemy.   But we knew that.  Anything news-worthy?  Apparently not.

They're throwing everything at the wall they can dredge up, as usual.  It's not working....since most American voters don't CARE what Trump rambled on and on and on about back then.  They care about what he is doing to drag America back from the brink that Obama and the leftist Democrats pushed us to.

Right.  Because neither ordinary women or ordinary women would ever do something so outrageous as talk to their friends about who they'd have sex with....

Things change, however.   And even 'back then'.... corporations had sexual harassment training to nudge employees into NOT discussing sex even with same sexes during work hours or on company time.  It opened them up to too many lawsuits.  But Trump has always said whatever he wanted to say at any given moment in time.  He has no filter on that mouth of his.  Which was a huge liability, IMO, when he was merely the head of beauty pageants and of The Apprentice.   Now?  Multiply that liability by a zillion or so.

It's not a question of "ordinary women" talking to their friends.  This is the boss asking you that question.  That's way out of line.

At this point, I do not give a crap what Trump may or may not have said back when he was a private citizen.  We already knew what a cad and back-stabbing grandstander he was.

I'm more concerned about the stupid shit and gutter-esque things he tweets and says while in the Executive.

Not a person to admire or point my grandkids to emulate. 

Rather to eschew due embarrassment.

Right.... and calling Omar a dog (an insult to dogs everywhere, IMO).... is just more juvenile antics by him.  Not presidential AT ALL.

Exactly...   And pitting the sexuality or sexual attractiveness of one subordinate to another is sure fire ticket the unemployment line.

Of course not.   Because... the double-standards left (the only standards they have).... are also blatant hypocrites.  It's how the idiot left rolls (always).

Saying racially insensitive things.... like the left has been doing for the past two years and counting?  Violent imagery which is much worse than saying "insensitive" things like Kathy Griffin and others that have alluded to killing Trump?

These idiot leftists have no leg to stand on.  Yet still they bleat.
