Donald Trump HAPPY to Defend Racist Donald Sterling

"Donald Trump echoed the sentiments of outrage expressed by many in response to racist remarks allegedly made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, but adding that the woman who recorded the conversation is 'the girlfriend from hell.'

"Speaking with Fox News on Monday, Trump called Sterling's comments 'despicable,' referencing the 15-minute conversation with then-girlfriend V. Stiviano in which the Clippers owner made several disparaging comments toward African-Americans. However, Trump added that while Sterling's comments deserved punishment, he said the Clippers owner was set-up by his 'very bad girlfriend.'

"'He got set up by a very, very bad girlfriend, let's face it,' Trump told 'Fox & Friends' of Clippers owner Donald Sterling."

Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore, Desi Doyen and Dave Rubin break down the various conservative commentators flocking to Donald Sterling's defense on The Young Turks.
