Clay Aiken Apologizes for Defending ‘Actually Racist’ Donald Trump

by Lars Brandle

Clay Aiken, the American Idol alum who turned his back on a pop career for a run at politics, has had a change of heart on President Trump.

In light of Trump’s contested claim that “both sides” were at fault for the violence during a recent protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, Aiken fired off a tweet Tuesday night in which he unequivocally pulled any shred of support for Trump, who he inferred to as “actually racist.”…

It’s something of a U-turn for Aiken, a North Carolina Democrat who kept a close eye on Trump through his controversial election campaign and correctly (and reluctantly) predicted he’d win. Many casual observers figured Aiken was a fan, which he denies.

As a contestant on NBC’s The Apprentice, Aiken had a ringside seat observing then-host Trump calling the shots. Reality TV and the real thing aren’t the same thing. In his latest tweet, Aiken called himself a “f*****g dumbass” for good measure, and made sure to copy Trump’s Twitter handle.

Aiken’s Twitter thumbs were smoking overnight as he blasted the pres with a string of messages. “TBC… I’ve always thought he would be a dumpster fire as a president, and I was right about that. I just didn’t think he was racist. #wrong,” he wrote.

And in a response to a comment from another Twitter user, he wrote, “My party is the Democrats. I didn’t vote for the idiot. Never ever implied that I did or would. Was VERY vocal about not voting for him.” In others, he set the record straight for those who assumed he was a “Trump supporter.”

Later, he clarified, “TBC… I’ve always thought he would be a dumpster fire as a president, and I was right about that. I just didn’t think he was racist. #wrong.”

“Bitch, please! If you think I have EVER been a “Trump supporter” you’re as crazy as he is. #payattention….My party is the Democrats. I didn’t vote for the idiot. Never ever implied that I did or would. Was VERY vocal about not voting for him,” he added, indicating he voted for Hillary Clinton.

Clay appeared on Trump‘s reality show Celebrity Apprentice years ago.
