Former News Host Uses Racist Term While Condemning Trump Supporters’ Alleged Racism

Former MSNBC host Donny Deutsch apologized on Friday for using the term “yellow man” while criticizing “racist” Americans who trusted information from President Trump about the coronavirus pandemic.

Referring to a recent NPR-PBS-Marist poll, Deutsch said the approximately one-third of Americans who say they trust Trump must be racists. “How do one in three Americans still believe this man about corona[virus] or anything?” Deutsch asked on Friday’s “Morning Joe.”

“And the answer is only one thing,” he went on. “One in three Americans are racists, one in three Americans are terrified that this country, by the year 2040, is not going to be majority White — that the Black man or brown man or the yellow man or woman are going to come and take their jobs and take away their suburbs.”

Later in the program, Deutsch said “yellow man” was a “stupid term” and he apologized if he offended anybody.

“[I] was just trying to make a point and I apologize if I offended anybody. People know me, know that — where my heart is,” he said. (Read more from “Former News Host Uses Racist Term While Condemning Trump Supporters’ Alleged Racism” HERE)
