Chuck Todd asked Sen. Roy Blunt about President Donald Trump‘s curious tendency to label his African-American opponents as unintelligent, and the Missouri Republican assured the NBC host that the GOP is not “anti-black.”

Trump called NBA star LeBron James “dumb” in a tweet Friday night, CNN host Don Lemon “the dumbest man on television,” and re-upped his “very low I.Q.” attacks on Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters at his rallies this week.

“Are you concerned that the president is defining the GOP as anti-black?” Todd asked Blunt on Meet the Press.

“The GOP is not anti-black,” Blunt replied.

“It’s always with an African-American when he questions intelligence,” Todd interjected. “That’s what makes a lot of people uncomfortable with what he’s doing.”
