BuzzFeed's CEO just made an explosive claim about Ivanka Trump's own alleged lewd language
"I met her once & she casually said: 'I've never seen a mulatto c***, but I'd like to!'" Peretti wrote in a tweet.
BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith then tweeted "Is there a doctor on this flight @united," seemingly in response to Peretti's comments. Smith followed that with, "We are covering this like everyone else," attaching a screenshot from BuzzFeed's US head of news, Shani Hilton, addressed to Peretti with the subject: "Urgent press request."
BuzzFeed confirmed that Peretti was indeed the author of the tweet.
Peretti and BuzzFeed did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
