Asked by ABC moderator David Muir why he believes it's appropriate to weigh in on the racial identity of his opponent, "All I can say is I read where she was not Black, (slight pause) that she put out, (slight pause) and (slight pause) I’ll say that, (slight pause) and then I read that she was Black, and that's OK," he said. Either one was OK with me. That's up to her.” It is very possible he was pointing to the insinuations that she “slept her way to success”
