One fact is clear...this public figure defended, in public , his use of this particular word to describe the President of the United States.

If there is any rational human being in this country who can defend this specific act in this specific circumstance then things are even worse than I feared.

Certainly it his right to say whatever he wishes but it is my right to find this despicable in any situation but intolerable in a public official. Whether he "deserves" to be called a racist based on one utterance IS arguable and totally irrelevant.
