During a 2016 campaign stop, the con artist pointed to the handful of people present and said, "Oh, look at my African-American over here. Look at him," Trump said. "Are you the greatest?"
The person in question was Gregory Cheadle, a Republican congressional candidate in California at the time. Cheadle said he didn't feel offended by the remark and wondered why people were so sensitive. Cheadle even congratulated the other black person at the rally who assaulted a protestor.
Now, Cheadle says he's leaving the GOP due to the con artist's lack of diversity in his regime and the con artist's white superiority complex.
Cheadle also called out Republicans in general for their cowardly actions.

"I was thrilled that he gave blacks positive press by talking about one of the (supporters) that was at his event ... a black guy who beat up a white guy at his rally," Cheadle said.
Now, Cheadle says he's leaving the GOP due to the con artist's lack of diversity in his regime and the con artist's white superiority complex.
Gregory Cheadle, of California, told "PBS NewsHour" he believes the Republican Party is pursuing a "pro-white" agenda and using black people like him as "political pawns."
"I'm just sick and tired of the way blacks and other people of color have been treated by this administration and by the GOP," Cheadle told CNN's Erin Burnett on Thursday on "Erin Burnett OutFront." He said he has been frustrated with Trump's rhetoric on race and the lack of diversity in his administration and judicial appointments.
Cheadle told Burnett he wouldn't use the term "racist" to describe the President, but said Trump has a "white superiority complex."

Cheadle pointed to the recent attacks by Trump on four congresswomen of color, when he told them to "go back" to where they came from, and on Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, when the President called Baltimore "a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess."
"President Trump is a rich guy who is mired in white privilege to the extreme," Cheadle told PBS. "Republicans are too sheepish to call him out on anything and they are afraid of losing their positions and losing any power themselves."
