A nephew of Donald Trump said the former president once used a racial slur after finding damage on his car in the early 1970s.
In the upcoming memoir "All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way," Fred C. Trump lll, the former president's nephew, recalled a time when the GOP presidential nominee went on a racist tirade over two gashes he found on the roof of his Cadillac Eldorado convertible.
“‘N*****s,’ I recall him saying disgustedly. ‘Look what the n*****s did,’” the nephew wrote in the book, per an excerpt obtained by The Guardian.
Donald Trump didn't know who was responsible for the damage but went “straight to the place where people’s minds sometimes go when they face a fresh affront. Across the racial divide,” Trump III said.
In a statement, Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesperson, denied the nephew's claims as “completely fabricated and total fake news of the highest order."
“It is appalling a lie so blatantly disgusting can be printed in media," Cheung said. “Anyone who knows President Trump knows he would never use such language, and false stories like this have been thoroughly debunked.”
"All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way" is set to be released on Tuesday (July 30).
