Here’s the actual quote via the Daily Beast, which shows you can be partisan and accurate at the same time:
“My father sees one color—green. That is all he cares about. He cares about the economy. He does not see race. He is the least racist person I ever met in my entire life.”
Maybe they skipped this day in school?
You know quotation marks are used for actual quotes, right? https://t.co/Poyv3L3QDs

It’s how the Fake News is made:
You see?

This was NOT what was said. You DELIBERATELY Misquoted this.
You NEED to retract this and FIX IT. Its a LIE
He said "The only COLOR my father see's is Green"- In regards to race.
