A reporter asked him questions about racist remarks during the 2018 Midterm campaign.
"Have you ever use racist remarks?"
Trump flatly denied the comments.
"I don't know who Lil Jon is," President Trump tells a reporter when asked about a claim made by the rapper about Trump's rhetoric.— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) November 7, 2018

The reporter mentioned former Celebrity Apprentice contestant Lil Jon. The Atlanta rapper and DJ was on the NBC program. Lil Jon said Trump called him an "Uncle Tom" during a taping.
"I don't know who Lil Jon is," Trump said, responding to the reporter's question. "I really don't."
The reporter then noted that they starred side-by-side on his reality show. “Oh, he was?” Donald Trump said.
Back in October 2016, Lil Jon asserted that Trump called him Uncle Tom while they were working on The Celebrity Apprentice together.
"When this 'Uncle Tom' incident happened on Celebrity Apprentice in the boardroom several of my cast mates and I addressed Mr. Trump immediately when we heard the comment," he wrote at the time. "I can't say if he knew what he was actually saying or not, but he did stop using that term once we explained its offensiveness."
CNN's Jim Acosta was banned from White House press pool after a heated confrontation with Trump. This came hours after Acosta got into a heated exchange. Trump called Acosta a "terrible person."
Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced that Acosta will get a "hard pass." It means he won't be able to cover the White House from the grounds until further notice.
Trump favored outlets like Fox News will get access to spread lies and racism. He will grant Fox News a stage to promote bullshit. It's unfortunate that CNN has to hold their tongues.
If I was the boss of CNN, I would have told Acosta to say "fuck you" directly to Trump.
Instant viral.
YEEEAH!
