USA President Donald Trump has deleted his retweet of a video where one of his supporters can be heard yelling, \u201cWhite power!\u201d<\/p>\n
The tweet was deleted on Sunday after it drew fierce criticism from across the political spectrum, including from Tim Scott of South Carolina, the sole African American Republican in the Senate.<\/p>\n
Sen. Tim Scott, a Republican from South Carolina, called the video a \u201cterrible display\u201d in an interview on television.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe should take it down \u2014 there isn\u2019t much to be said,\u201d Scott said, during an interview on CBS\u2019s \u201cFace the Nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
The video showed a parade of supporters of the president riding golf carts through the sprawling retirement community in central Florida called \u201cThe Villages.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump had left the tweet, featuring video of arguments among residents of The Villages, a predominantly white and conservative retirement community in Florida, posted on his Twitter feed for nearly four hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you to the great people of The Villages,\u201d Trump tweeted about the footage, which begins with a white man driving a golf cart with a \u201cTrump 2020\u201d sign spouting racist rhetoric at white anti-Trump protesters.<\/p>\n
White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere claimed that Trump had not heard the man screaming \u201cwhite power\u201d at the start of the video he tweeted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
