This morning President Trump signed an MLK Day proclamation, but his reported “sh*thole” comment was all that was on the minds of some reporters. One in particular asked Trump if he’s a racist:

At the White House, Trump shakes hands with MLK Jr. family members as reporters yell out whether he will apologize for "shithole" comments and "are you a racist?'

Reporter April Ryan might now hope to see Oprah in the White House more than ever before!
I heard one reporter ask the question. The press exhibits inappropriate behavior for the event. IMO.
