A spokesperson for the Trump campaign told Business Insider that Nunberg would be “terminated immediately” as soon as the campaign verified the content of his Facebook posts. Nunberg is denying he wrote the posts. He was hired again to work on Trump’s presidential run, but as Business Insider revealed, the staffer has made a slew of other poor choices on the Internet, like referring to Reverend Al Sharpton’s daughter as a “N–!” on Facebook.

First reported by Business Insider, Facebook posts allegedly made by Nunberg include a status that read “thinks that Obama is a Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser – congrats to the losers that voted for him”, CNN further reports. I would also point out that all of these things were done before Mr. Trump’s campaign, if I even did them – which I deny. “And anything you are reporting on does not reflect anything on Mr Trump or Mr Trump’s campaign”. “And some, I assume, are good people”.
Nunberg took pains to emphasize that postings from more than a half-decade ago predated his association with the current Republican frontrunner. “Politics as usual is wrong”. Now it’s Sam Nunberg, one of Trump’s top political advisors. In early 2014, he was fired after urging Trump to participate in an unflattering BuzzFeed profile.
Sharpton told Business Insider he thought Nunberg’s posts were “ugly” and “repugnant”. He called New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) a “fat slob” and referred to Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) as “Huckahick”.
Nunberg, an associate of political strategist and former Richard Nixon aide Roger Stone, previously advised Trump in 2012, when Trump last considered running for president but ultimately bowed out and endorsed Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

The Times said on Sunday that Nunberg, a lawyer, has repeatedly worked for Trump in various roles before joining his 2016 campaign this year.
