Video gone viral
A viral video, which has so far racked up 5 million views on Twitter, revealed Solid8 CEO Michael Lofthouse, unleashing a racist remark against an Asian family.
The video starts with one of the members of the Asian family, Jordan Chan, asking Lofthouse to “say it again”. That means she wanted Lofthouse to repeat what he had earlier said.
According to the video, Solid8 CEO Michael Lofthouse replies, shouting that “Trump’s gonna f**k you.”
I guess he wasn’t aware that he was already on video at that time. Furthermore, he asks the Asian family to take their leave, adding that Chan is a “f**king Asian piece of sh*t.”
