EXCLUSIVE: A CNN segment on “Newsnight with Abby Phillip“About the Trump administration’s examination on the Smithsonian broke out in a heated debate on slavery when the fitness coach and media personality, Jillian Michaels, said that President Donald Trump was not a” bleached “story.

Speaking exclusively at Fox News Digital of the now viral segment, Michaels accused Phillip of lying, then attacking him verbally after having argued that the whites do not support all the blame for slavery.

“There was no time when I defended slavery,” said Michaels. “I would never do it. I just said it was bad, but you can’t put everything at the feet of a race. There was no time when I tried to plead who benefited from slavery in America, and I specifically said that it has been going on for thousands of years.”

Michaels said that the Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky had started the debate when she described Trump as “dear leader” – a blow evoking the authoritarian title used for Kim Jong Il from North Korea – and said: “Slavery was a bad thing, and we should talk about it.”

“If I could literally tell you about the lies that Abby Phillip and CNN and the Huffington Post perpetuated after this interview, it is amazing how they badly characterized and manipulated,” said Michaels.

And the host of the CNN said that Trump had followed the example of Michaels in a Post social postcalling the smithsonian “awake” and “out of control”.

Michaels supported Fox News Digital that she had no intention of “trying to religious who benefited from slavery in America” Phillip said.

“Slavery and imperialism and racism have been practiced by each human race, and everyone of each skin color through history has carried the chains and the whip, and I think that if we do not start to talk about it, it will tear the fabric of our society,” said Michaels.

She asked how it was racist to “tell the two sides of this story”. The White House officials told Fox News Digital that the new advice of Smithsonian aims to “support a broader vision of excellence which highlights historically exact, edifying and inclusive representations of the American inheritance”.

“This ultra -revealing story which says one side of history and which paints an entire race, just one, with all the evils of slavery, imperialism, racism – this young generation is choking (it), and they vomit”, declared the old “the biggest loser” “said.

“I’m going to register for a difficult conversation,” said Michaels. “I want to have it. I kiss her. I think it’s necessary, but when you see people attacking your family, your children, your spouse, your parents, the people you work with and their livelihoods are threatened, you can see why people are afraid of saying anything.”

The host of the Podcast “Keeping It Real” said that the cancellation of culture is intentionally used as a means of maintaining the racial division and maintaining the status quo. But she is not unrelated to the anger of the public.
