Larry Kudlow speaks to CNBC (screen grab)
On CNBC News Monday, President Donald Trump's economic adviser Larry Kudlow reiterated his position that he does not believe America has an issue with "systemic racism" — and as evidence, offered the fact that President Barack Obama had been elected twice.
"Here's a thought," said Kudlow. "President Obama, the first Black president, was elected twice, and he got 79 million white votes. 79 million in two elections. Now therefore I find it hard to understand something called "systemic racism."
Kudlow first came under fire last week, when, on a separate CNBC appearance, he said, "I don’t believe there is systemic racism in the U.S. I’m not going to go into a long riff on it."
