Just one day after talk show host Tavis Smiley appeared on ABC’s This Week and called Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump “an unrepentant, irascible, religious and racial arsonist,” the loudest mouth on the presidential trail shot back with an immediate retort on social media at the mild mannered Smiley, calling him a “racist” and saying ABC could’ve hired a better host.
Why does @ThisWeekABC w/ @GStephanopoulos allow a hater & racist like @tavissmiley to waste good airtime? @ABC can do much better than him!

For the record, Smiley hosts a talk show on PBS(not ABC) and is currently promoting the release of his new book, The Covenant With Black America: Ten Years Later.
