Don Cheadle is taking some SERIOUS shots at Donald Trump.
As you surely know, the House Of Lies actor isn’t shy about being an outspoken critic of the Trumpster’s presidency, but over the weekend, things took an intense turn when he accused POTUS of using a racial slur before entering the White House. DAYUMMM.

So how did all this come out?? Well, amid a debate on Twitter about Russia’s alleged ties to the Trump campaign, George Clooney‘s bestie wrote:
Hated him since he asked my friend’s father at a Doral pro-am if he’d ever “f*cked a nigger…” Did it for me … https://t.co/ypCNEPldH5

How awful. Although, it sounds very on brand for Drumpf. We mean, this is the same man who claimed he could grab any “pussy” he wanted and called Mexican immigrants “rapists.” Smh.
However, several people are frustrated with Don for not bringing this story to light during the campaign. On his decision to stay silent on the racist anecdote, Cheadle defended:
Many already know this to be in his nature. It’s not hidden. And those who can’t see it, might never. The story would have changed little. https://t.co/MoVVaTIwgb

Of course, many followers online wanted more info/proof about the supposed conversation. And while Don didn’t offer up any specifics about the racially charged chat, he clapped back:
Her father wasn’t wearing a wire. But look up the 2M or so articles about Drumpf and racism if you need a primer. Start with his own book. https://t.co/nUhcQNqK1n

Remember “Jim No Last Name?” The guy Trump said told him Paris was a disaster now? He’s the source. ├░┼╕ΓäóΓÇ₧ https://t.co/V3zaQlcU10

Obviously, the Ocean’s Eleven vet didn’t leave his defense there as he continued:
1) Have you never been in a stuaition where language like this was used to describe a person of color, woman, gay person, Jewish person, https://t.co/pSfijOtteC

2) LGBTQ person, Muslim, anybody, and just “kept to yourself?” We’ve ALL probably done something like this and then repeated it later to https://t.co/pSfijOtteC

3) someone we know/trust/love, and sometimes with regret and shame that we didn’t speak up at the time. Same thing here. A father repeating https://t.co/pSfijOtteC

4) it to his daughter with both disbelief of hearin the words and regret that he stayed quiet and minded his own business. Like that. https://t.co/pSfijOtteC

Huh. These are some serious accusations, but we have a feeling Trump will *poorly* defend himself on Twitter when he gets a chance.
