Real estate mogul Donald Trump's presidential campaign on Sunday fired a staffer after racially charged posts he wrote years ago on Facebook surfaced online.
Sam Nunberg, who the campaign described as a "part-time advisor," allegedly wrote a series of disparaging Facebook posts in 2007 (http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-advisers-racist-facebook-posts-2015-7), one in which he called the Rev. Al Sharpton's daughter a "N---!" and another in which he called President Barack Obama a "Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser."
After Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski announced (http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/31/politics/trump-adviser-sam-nunberg-facebook-posts/) an investigation into the "offensive" writings on Friday, Bloomberg's Mark Halperin reported Nunberg was indeed let go.
