The Download | August 20th: Georgia State lawmaker, Michael Williams, thoughts on Trump using the n-word + White man arrested at airport goes viral after racial comment + Simone Biles makes makes history
Your daily 60-second news wrap.
Last week the news cycle was Omarosa everything as she dropped tape after tape of secret White House recordings and made allegations about President Donald Trump using the n-word. But for Georgia State lawmaker Michael Williams, the n-word just might be okay.He expressed his thoughts on the comment with CNN’S Victor Blackwell. In 2018 it seems like we reach new lows every day.
And in Florida, a video of a White man getting arrested at Orlando International Airport has gone viral after he tried to compare himself to Black victims of police brutality while being detained. Jeffrey Epstein says he caused the disruption on purpose and was trying to make a point about police use of force.
And the phenomenal Simone Biles is back and continuing to make history. Biles won her fifth title at the U.S. Gymnastics Championship. Biles is the first American woman to earn five national all-around titles since U. S.A. Gymnastics began overseeing the event in 1970 and she was the first to sweep all four events at the championships since Dominique Dawes did so in 1994.
Congratulations, Simone!
