Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, confirmed to CNN that Nunberg was no longer with the campaign.
In Facebook posts dating back to 2007 surfaced by Business Insider on Friday, Nunberg referred to President Obama as a “Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser” and a “Pan Arabist Marxist Muslim,” according to Business Insider. He also reportedly referenced conspiracy theories that Obama was born in Kenya, once noting that “Obama is not getting universal “Kenyan health care.”
Nunberg also called Rev. Al Sharpton’s daughter a “N—!” and criticized Republican politicians, calling New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie a “fat slob who should register as a Democrat,” according to Business Insider.
When asked about the Facebook posts, Nunberg told Business Insider, “I’m shocked and I don’t recall them,” adding that he was not working for Trump when the messages were posted to Facebook.

Your reporting is incomplete. This is the second time Trump has fired this guy. I think the last firing was in 2013. Anyway, who knew the “You’re fired!” guy was just joshing around?
Wow! Had to look this weasel up on the Google machine.
Sam Nunberg is a Republican; not an independent.
Once worked for the Middle East Forum founded by lying GOP shit-wad, Daniel Pipes.
Supported Mitt Romney; chair of Students for Mitt NYC
Prior worked for conservative God-botherers at the American Center for Law & Justice associated with Regent University Law School and Pat Robertson.
And the money shot…
Nunberg is also a close associate of Roger Stone.
'Nuff said.
So he’ll make a fine Trump supporter, just not a campaign aide. Supporters can say whatever they think, campaign aides need to remember to close the door first.
That would be the slogan and platform for the Republican Party in the future.
