Caleb Hull, a Republican pro-Trump strategist in Washington, D.C., apologized Wednesday for posting offensive racist messages on social media.
Conservative activist Candace Owens, who has been accused of being anti-Black, shared her fellow Trump supporter’s offensive tweets on her Twitter account, writing, “I’m waiting for literally any Republican or conservative to try to defend @CalebJHull’s tweets…”

According to Mediaite.com, Hull is known for his pro-Trump posts on social media, and “his relentless targeting of Trump critics online.”
In posts dating back to 2014, Hull expressed racist views on Twitter.com. Not surprisingly, his offensive posts were not flagged or taken down by Twitter.
In one tweet, he wrote: “I need to increase my arsenal of offensive pictures… I’m out. Every N*ggas Dream.”
In a tweet on July 1, Hull wrote a lengthy apology for his tweets, which he says were made when he was just a teenager.

“For a long time, I have been extremely ashamed and embarrassed that I could have ever written such vile things,” he wrote. “…to atone for my behavior, I’ve shared these experiences with those closest to me and asked for forgiveness.”
But Owens says Hull is not remorseful for his racist past. “And yes, it is known that he routinely says n*gger all the time— it is not a thing of the past. He is a racist today.”
