President Trump on Friday tweeted his support for Charlie Kirk and the conservative group Turning Point USA one day after a New Yorker investigation that included racist text messages sent by a former top official in the organization.

Trump tweeted his thanks to Kirk for the activist's praise of Trump's job performance early Friday, lamenting that the mainstream media ignored his administration's achievements in 2017.

The show of support comes just a day after the New Yorker reported that Turning Point's former national field director, Crystal Clanton, sent text messages to another staffer during the 2016 campaign expressing hatred towards African-Americans. Clanton held the second-most-powerful position in Turning Point USA for five years before her resignation.

“I hate black people. Like fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story," Clanton wrote in texts to John Ryan O’Rourke, another former Turning Point employee.

3. Trump wouldn't read New Yorker so he would never see this story.

It's actually kind of funny imagining him trying to read that. Someone like him is probably in their demographic, except that they don't have enough pictures for him. And the words are too long. And they assume you have a modicum of education. And intelligence. And class.

4. This is an anti-big govt group, who are using Gorka, Pirro,and the usual box of idiots.

Since 99.9% are white, I bet the secret sauce is racism.
The New Yorker has a good story on this group.
