A prominent surrogate for President Donald Trump was public mocked by Montel Williams after demanding to debate CNN anchor Van Jones in a forum moderated by Williams.
Carl Higbie resigned from the administration in January, after CNN reported he made a slew of racist, sexist and xenophobic statements.
Higbie had hosted an internet radio program called "Sound of Freedom" where he accused "the black race" of "lax morality."
“Go back to your Muslim sh*thole and go crap in your hands and bang little boys on Thursday nights,” Higbie said. “I just don’t like Muslim people. People always rip me a new one for that. Carl, you’re racist, you can’t, you’re sexist. I’m like Jesus Christ. I just don’t like Muslim people because their ideology sucks.”
"Not sure who the hell Carl thinks he’s talking about but it’s pretty pathetic," Williams tweeted Saturday, while sharing screenshots of a text barrage he received from Higbie.
"How about you moderate a debate on racism," Higby suggested. "I think my actual views are far different from the headlines.
"You don't need a debate to correct what you've written in the past," Williams replied.
"Ah, afraid of actual debate i (sic) see," Higbie replied.
"So Carl Higbie's wackadoodle plan to fix his racism/bigotry/problem is for me to moderate a panel with him and Van Jones on CNN (where I am not employed)," Williams tweeted.
After being ousted from the administration, Higbie was hired as director of advocacy at America First Policies, a dark money political action committee backing President Trump.
