Symone Sanders: Calling LaVar Ball a ‘Poor Man’s Don King’ ‘Is Absolutely a Dog Whistle’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "But I think what's prob -- what I -- what I think was problematic here is this, look, if Donald Trump wants to continue to be president of the United States, he needs to get a thicker skin. What about LaVar Ball speaking out, NFL players taking a knee bothers him? What about Frederica Wilson telling her truth bothers him so much to the point that he has to attack them a lot of times based on, on what they look like. He attacked LaVar Ball saying he -- he -- he was a poor man’s version of Don King. That is absolutely a dog whistle. And so what about these particular folks, specifically in the UCLA players' case that makes Donald Trump thinks that they should be grateful to him."
