President Trump received support from former Democratic National Committee chairwoman and Fox News contributor Donna Brazile in the ongoing debate over whether his rhetoric is to blame for two mass shootings earlier this month.
During a Friday appearance on The Guy Benson Show on Fox News Radio, Brazile claimed that Trump had "Nothing to do" with the shootings when asked if she considered Trump to be a white supremacist.
"The reason why is to point fingers and to play this so-called blame game. President Trump had nothing to do with the maniac, and I'm being gracious here, the maniac who shot up a Wal-Mart store. He had nothing to do with the person who shot up, you know, the bar in Dayton. This is unbecoming of the country. The President of United States, you know, should not be blamed for you know these individual killers."
"We need to set a tone for our kids for our future for the values that we share as Americans. And you know, we like these gotcha questions. Hey are you a racist or you I don't like that. I'm black, yes, I'm black. That's who I am, but that's not everything. You don't know anything else about me other than the color of my skin. That's not how we should do it. I'm speaking as Donna. I'm not speaking as a Democrat. I'm speaking to Donna. I want people to get to know me. Hey, you know how not everybody's going to like me, but I guarantee you - if you eat my gumbo, you would."
Many Democratic presidential candidates have blamed Trump for inspiring white supremacists in the U.S. to commit crimes.
Former Vice President Joe Biden said Trump's speech in which he denounced white supremacy did not fool anyone about his past divisive rhetoric.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren slammed Trump in the wake of both shootings and bluntly declared the president a white supremacist on Twitter on Thursday.
