'I think they were protesting your racist father,' Legend wrote. 'This isn't complicated.'
'Here we go again,' Trump Jr responded. 'That can't be the answer for everything you don't like.'
'That's why the country is so divided now!' he added.
Legend hit back: 'No. It's just the answer when racist racists are saying racist s*** and are endorsed by the KKK.'
One
Trump supporter then decided to insert himself in the conversation and
hit back at Legend without taking a look at his Wikipedia page.
'Is John Legend that disgraceful?' wrote a Twitter user who calls himself RedKneckHillBilly.
