Trump's campaign adviser fired over racially charged Facebook posts


Donald Trump fired his campaign adviser Sam Nunberg Sunday following allegations Nunberg wrote racist Facebook posts, and on Twitter derided his fellow presidential candidates, calling them "puppets" who sought funding and other resources from the billionaire Koch brothers.

But the billionaire business mogul is still winning the Republican popularity contest, outstripping Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and all other GOP presidential candidates in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll published Sunday.

Corey Lewandowski, Trump's campaign manager, announced Sunday Nunberg was "no longer affiliated" with Trump's campaign. Nunberg was accused of writing racist posts on Facebook that were unearthed Friday. Nunberg denied writing them, but Lewandowski told CNN Friday Nunberg would be fired if he had indeed authored posts that used racial epithets and called Obama a "Fascist Nazi Appeaser."
