Donald Trump has been called a lot of things, and one of those things is "racist."

It might have something to do with the way he talks about Mexicans and the peaceful protests staged by black NFL players. Or maybe it's the way he feels about various "shithole" countries.

No sweat though, because his son, Don. Jr. cleared the whole "racist" thing in this interview with The Daily Caller.

As CoS points out, Ginni Thomas, who is spouse to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, asked DTJr. about the "left’s efforts to frame your dad and anyone who supports your dad as a hater, as a racist, as a fascist.”

The little guy says it has been terrible to watch because his dad's actions — at least in Trump Jr's eyes — have not been racist.

"I know him, I’ve seen him my whole life, I’ve seen the things he’s done,” Trump Jr. says.

“It’s amazing, all the rappers, all the this, all his African-American friends, from Jesse Jackson to Al Sharpton, I have pictures with them.”

Dafaq?

Honestly, that statement is beyond comprehension, just like 45's election and his remaining supporters' attempts to make excuses for him.

Plus, we just want to know on Twitter or Facebook: does taking pictures with rappers make you less racist?
