Van Jones brings CNN election night to screeching halt with awesome takedown of Trump’s KKK ‘games’

CNN Democratic Strategist Van Jones explained to Donald Trump supporter Jeffery Lord on Tuesday that it was disingenuous for the billionaire candidate to claim he would destroy Islamic terrorists groups while ignoring questions about domestic white supremacist groups....

“I hate to say this about the Republican establishment but their view of civil rights is to tip the black waiter five bucks at the country club,” Lord opined. “This is why Donald Trump has the ability (to win) because he’s not going to patronize people.”

“Hold on,” Jones politely interrupted, bringing a hush over the other pundits. “The things that Donald Trump has done — and not just in this race — are horribly offensive.”...

“We’re not going to play that game,” Jones shot back. “No, you need to take a serious look at the fact that this man has been playing fast and loose and footsie. When he starts talking about terrorism, he gets passionate, he says, ‘No, this is wrong.’ But when you talk about the Klan, ‘Oh, I don’t know, I don’t know.'”
