"Dwayne Wade's (sic) cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago," Trump initially wrote Saturday morning, misspelling Wade's first name. "Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!"
That tweet apparently was deleted and later replaced with one using the correct spelling Saturday afternoon.
