NBC approved of President Donald Trump being gay-baited and called a racial slur by Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchor Michael Che during SNL’s 43rd season opener Saturday night as the slurs aired unedited.
Che was attacking Trump over his response to the damage done to Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria.
“After the mayor of San Juan attacked the government’s Puerto Rican relief efforts, President Trump attacked her on Twitter, saying, “The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump””
“Oh really, Donald? You bitch! Was she nasty to you? How nasty? Are you shaking? Do you want to go smoke a Virginia Slim until your hand stops moving?”
“This isn’t that complicated, man, it’s hurricane relief. These people need help. You just did this for white people, twice. Do the same thing. Go tell Melania to put on her flood heels, get some bottled water, some food, pack up some extra Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl t-shirts and write them a check with our money, you cheap cracker!”
“In one month you’ve mishandled Puerto Rico, DACA, the NFL. It’s like when anybody darker than your golf pants has a problem you’re thinking, how can I make this worse?”

Che claims Trump “just did this for white people”, referencing Hurricane Harvey which targeted Houston, Texas with record rainfall and flooding, and Hurricane Irma which targeted the entire state of Florida in September.
Houston is minority White and Florida is barely majority White, yet NBC let Che get away with his race-baiting lie to smear Trump.
Houston’s racial make-up, according to StatisticalAtlas.com, is 25.8 % White, 43.1 % Hispanic, 23.5 % Black and 6.2 % Asian.
According to the Census Bureau, Florida is 54.9 % White, 24.9 % Hispanic, 16.8 % Black and 2.9 % Asian.
Che also said of Trump, “It’s like when anybody darker than your golf pants has a problem you’re thinking, how can I make this worse?”
Here is video of Trump calling an injured policeman hurt while escorting the presidential motorcade in Indianapolis this past week. Trump reportedly delayed the departure of Air Force One until he could speak with the officer, who happens to be “darker than (Trump’s) golf pants”.

To racists like Michael Che and NBC which approves and broadcasts his smears, facts don’t matter when it comes to attacking President Trump.
