(Reuters/Nancy Wiechec) Donald Trump.

Sam Nunberg, an adviser to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, deleted his Twitter feed in the wake of a Business Insider post that was published on Friday and revealed he has a history of posting racially charged and controversial updates on Facebook.

Nunberg's Facebook updates included posts calling President Barack Obama "Muslim" and "Kenyan" as well as one where he wrote about calling Rev. Al Sharpton's daughter "N---!"

The deletion of his Twitter page was noted by Buzzfeed's Andrew Kaczynski, who said it appeared "recent" as the page was still showing up in the site's search feature. Nunberg's Facebook page is still online.

A spokesperson for the Trump campaign told Business Insider that Nunberg would be "terminated immediately" as soon as the campaign verified the content of his Facebook posts. The spokesperson also described Nunberg as a "low-level" staffer. According to campaign-finance records, Nunberg, who has worked for Trump since at least 2014, was one of eight individuals paid by the campaign between April and the start of this month.

In a phone conversation with Business Insider, Sharpton said, "You can't get more racist" than Nunberg's remarks.
