One of the Robertson brothers from the A&E show "Duck Dynasty" was, in 2013, escorted out of Trump Tower in New York City while he was staying there as a guest after asking a Trump hotel employee about the location of the bathroom.
Jase Roberston, who took the slight with a sense of humor, described the incident on Live! With Kelly and Michael, where he joked that the situation with the Trump hotel staff was a result of "facial profiling."
"You know, the first thing that happened to me at the hotel was I got escorted out," Robertson said.
"I think it was a facial profiling deal. I asked where the bathroom was and he said 'right this way sir,' he was very nice, and we walked outside, and he pointed down the road and said 'good luck and good day.' So I circled back around and my wife said, 'what happened?' I said I just got kicked out," Robertson said.
When Fox News asked the general manager of the Trump International Hotel & Tower Suzie Mills about the incident, she responded, "We are investigating this very unfortunate situation."
"Mr. Robertson is a valued guest of our hotel and the members of our staff know who he is," she added.
According to reports, Trump later apologized through his assistant.
"The Donald's assistant called Jase (Friday night) and talked to him about it," family member, Alan Robertson told The News-Star. "Mr. Trump was pleased with the way we handled the situation and he apologized for any inconvenience."
Robertson was reportedly not deterred from the incident.
"Jase assured them that we were not offended an welcomed a meeting with Mr. Trump the next time we are in New York City. We love staying at Trump Plaza and are undeterred by this incident. We look forward to our next visit in New York City," Alan said.
Willie Robertson, Jase's brother, offered his praise for Trump at an Oklahoma rally last week.
"I do like me some Trump, I gotta admit," Robertson said.
"Here's the deal. We're both successful businessmen. We both have pretty big shows on television. We both have wives that are 1,000 times better looking than us, so I like Trump." he added
