Donald Trump’s campaign is also facing controversy after one of his surrogates tweeted an image of Hillary Clinton in blackface. Pastor Mark Burns is Donald Trump’s top African-American adviser. He tweeted the image on Monday, which depicts Hillary Clinton in blackface and wearing a T-shirt that reads “No Hot Sauce, No Peace.” Burns also tweeted, “Black Americans, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTES and letting me use you again… See you again in 4 years.” Burns later deleted the tweet, saying, “I regret the offensiveness of the black face.” Meanwhile, Donald Trump has denounced NFL 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick for refusing to stand during the national anthem in a protest against police brutality and in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Trump called the protest “terrible” and said “maybe he should find a country that works better for him.”
