He said that, referring to the pictures of Trudeau in 2001, "To be honest, I'm not really mad at him because he was a kid and maybe he didn't know much. I wouldn't penalize him for that. Shit happens. I wouldn't penalize him right now, maybe at the time [that the pictures were taken], but right now, he's a grown man. He knows what he's doing. Things in the past should not be affecting you right now. We did some bad things back in the day that we are not proud of. I'm not judging him. I'm black too, but I'm not judging him."
