Ohio Dem: Trump always interested in 'finding a black person or a brown person' to call ‘dumb’
By Avery Anapol - 08/05/18 07:24 AM EDT

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) is accusing President Trump of “race-baiting” after his latest comments criticizing NBA star LeBron James and CNN host Don Lemon.

“The president is always interested in race-baiting,” Ryan said late Saturday on MSNBC. “He’s always interested in finding a black person or a brown person to call ‘dumb’ or to stereotype in some way.”

Ryan, who represents the Ohio congressional district that includes Akron, praised James for the “good work” he has done for the community, including millions of dollars in donations for youth clubs and schools, and donations of food and clothing for under-privileged youth.

“He’s been one of the premier citizens for the city of Akron, not just the star basketball player and a great role model,” Ryan said. “He’s given back.”
