Say all you want about Donald Trump’s tiny hands, but the man has some seriously big … claims.
Support Trump or not, there’s really no question that any GOP candidate who made it far enough out of the gate would be branded a racist. Sure, the Democrats fielded an all-white slate of candidates, but pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson, after delivering eloquent speeches at CPAC in 2013 and 2014, was called a token, an Uncle Tom, an Oreo, a victim of “house slave syndrome” and more — with impunity.
It’s not only Democrats making the accusation against Trump. Mitt Romney, explaining to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer why he can’t endorse Trump, expressed his concern over “trickle-down racism.”

In true Trump style, the presumptive GOP nominee came out swinging Saturday, letting America know he’s the “least racist person there is,” hitting Mitt Romney in the process.
Mitt Romney had his chance to beat a failed president but he choked like a dog. Now he calls me racist-but I am least racist person there is

Well, he spelled choked correctly, so that’s progress.

Mexicans, and others, may not agree with that bizarre claim.

.@realDonaldTrump the LEAST racist? You really believe that?
— Bryant Manning (@jbryantmanning) June 11, 2016
Least racist. What absolute nonsense. You claimed judge couldn't be impartial BC of racial heritage. Textbook racism. @realDonaldTrump

.@realDonaldTrump It's funny, but people who don't repeatedly say racist things don't need to deny being racist. Try it that way sometime.

Racists never admit they’re racists. You are a prime example of that.
— Fred Robledo (@oneputteagle) June 11, 2016
you're the definition of racism
— Frank Zurita (@F_zurita) June 11, 2016
If that were true, you wouldn't need to defend yourself, multiple times about racist remarks.

It’s safe to say that Trump is, in fact, not the least racist person there is, but at least he’s aware that his opponent (with the hot sauce in her purse and her endearing “southern twang”) will use the race card to pummel him at every opportunity.
