"I am the least racist person in this room" [View all]

Wow. What a whopper. Or maybe it's a statement of humility, as in 'I'm the least of the racist persons in this room'. Yeah, I think that's it. He is humbling himself among his racists followers in attendance.

“I am the least (racist person) in this room”

“I am the (least racist) person in this room”

Deciphering the context. Because he can't in all seriousness think that the public took it the way the lie was dished out.
