‘You’re Dividing People by Race!’ CNN’s Jeff Lord, Van Jones Blow Up Over Trump KKK Flap

CNN’s Jeff Lord, a Donald Trump supporter, defended Trump on the KKK/David Duke flap and got into a pretty fierce battle with Van Jones.

Jones told Lord there’s a “dark underside” here Trump is playing with by being coy about the KKK and “whipping up and tapping into and pushing buttons that are very very frightening to me and very frightening to a lot of people.”

He called the KKK a terrorist organization and Lord immediately said, “A leftist terrorist organization!”

They fought back and forth about this as Lord told Jones, “What you’re doing here is dividing people!… This is what liberals do! You’re dividing people by race!”

Lord again claimed that the KKK acted to “further the progressive agenda.” Jones shot back that the Democratic party has changed since than and told Lord that he needs to look at the GOP’s racial problems first.

He tore into Trump for his campaign against the “Central Park Five” and told Lord that his own son “sees so much vitriol from your party” he can’t watch the news anymore.

    Most of them are Republican far right conservatives now.

    They were basically modern day conservative Republicans before the term was used in the main stream media.

    A lot of the Dixiecrats moved over to the Republican Party after the voting rights act of 1965.

    ...and the democrats response is that they switched sides one day out of the blue? Sorry. That just don't make any type of sense to me whatsoever. Who wakes up one day out of the blue and decides to become a completely different person besides someone who's mentally ill?

    For one- the Republican Party are elitist and they don't just accept anybody. Why do you think they hate Trump some much because he's bring in all of these poor whites from the boondocks and from the trailer parks. And they don't want those type of people in their party. If you have ever met a Black Republican you know that they're upper middle class. And this is why I call insanity on the idea that out of the blue a large number of democrats would one day switch to become a Republican. It just doesn't happen that way.

    Exactly. Then most of the hippie generation of "progressive" whites became Reagan republicans in the 80s.

    Vans rebuttal was perfect tho.. something like:

    "I don't care who they were voting for I care about who they were killing"
