CNN’s Sidner to NAACP Pres. Johnson: ‘I Know You’re a Nonpartisan Organization’

Johnson: ‘No black church, no black institution should be used as a political stunt backdrop’

EXCERPT:

SIDNER: "I do want to ask you about an issue that happened here, and it was really the October surprise of this whole election, and that is that Abdul El-Sayed's primary challenger, Haley Stevens, decided very last minute, the last couple of days, to endorse his opponent, Mike Rogers, Republican Mike Rogers, someone who she had said is a rubber stamp for Donald Trump. She said that she‘s still a Democrat, she still stands for all the things, but decided that she wanted to go for Mike Rogers because of some things that were said in ads concerning Abdul El-Sayed and Israel. I do want to ask you what you made of that. She did her announcement in front of a black church. And I know you‘re a nonpartisan organization, but did you take something away from that that troubled you?"
