Symone Sanders: ‘We Have Put White Supremacy Into the White House’

‘We Have Put White Supremacy Into the White House’: CNN Commentator Rails Against Trump (Mediaite)

During a panel discussion on CNN this morning, the conversation got a bit heated after one panelist made the claim that President-elect Donald Trump had directly brought white supremacy to the White House.

Political commentator Symone Sanders, who previously worked on the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, responded to host Carol Costello asking about Trump’s statement against bigotry at his ‘Victory Tour’ rally last night. Costello also wanted to know if Trump was more effective when he plainly said “stop it” during his 60 Minutes interview regarding hate attacks in his name.

Sanders pointed out that the people who needed to hear that message “aren’t watching 60 Minutes.” She also noted that Trump had to have that anti-bigotry statement written into his speech last night and that he doesn’t seem to denounce it on Twitter or elsewhere with the same vigor as other subjects.
