I think it’s really sad,” Trump said Wednesday on “Fox and Friends” when asked about the lack of black nominees. Trump also said: “I saw someone on your show today saying, ‘Well, what do we do with BET, Black Entertainment?’ Right?” Trump asked on “Fox and Friends.” “The whites don’t get any nominations.” BET Awards have nominated Justin Timberlake, Eminem, and Sam Smith in the past. GOP candidate was the first to comment on the issue, saying the issue is overblown.
