CNN’s Lemon: If Trump Had More African-Americans Around Him, He Would’ve Known What ‘Juneteenth’ Was

RUSH EXCERPT:

LEMON: “It’s likely that he never heard of it. And the people around him. Juneteenth is tomorrow. Marks the end of slavery in America at the end of the civil war. Maybe if he had more than just a few African-Americans in key administration positions, somebody could have told him what juneteenth is. Or if he had more learned people around him who didn’t deny systemic racism, who didn’t live in a bubble, the elites, and maybe he would know, someone could inform him, whisper in his ear. Instead, apparently, well, that fell to a black Secret Service agent to clue in the president. And you know what? Thank goodness for that person. According to “The Wall Street Journal,” Trump didn’t even know the White House puts out a statement marking the anniversary every year. His ignorance of juneteenth reminds me of when he said this. Remember about Frederick Douglas? The former slave who became a statesman.”
