he does not back the New York businessman.
"I am not a Trump supporter," Gregory Cheadle told NPR News. "I went to go
hear Donald Trump because I have an open mind."
During a rally Friday in California, Trump was talking about a black
supporter's actions at a previous event when he spotted Cheadle in the crowd.
"Look at my African-American over here! Look at him!" Trump said. "Are you
the greatest? You know what I'm talking about, OK?"
Cheadle, a Republican candidate in a California congressional race, said he
was using a "Veterans For Trump" sign to shield his head from the sun, and
added he took no offense from Trump's comments.
"I was not offended by it because he had been speaking positively about
black people prior to that statement," Cheadle told NPR News. "People around
me were laughing [at the fact] that he noticed me and everybody was happy.
It was a jovial thing." |
