Van Jones: Black People Should Be Afraid of White, Hillary Supporters

by

CNN commentator Van Jones, never one to shy from his opinions, provided another of his infamous hot takes on the network Friday. Everyone is talking about race at the moment because an African American man, George Floyd, was killed by police officers in Minneapolis last week. And the city is on fire with rioters and looters pillaging the city, claiming that Floyd was killed because of the color of his skin.

In the context of racial division in the country, Jones made a surprising statement.

"It’s not the racist person who's in the Ku Klux Klan that we have to worry about," he said. "It’s the white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park" who suggests she doesn't see the color of your skin. But, once that individual sees a black man who she doesn't trust, she "weaponizes race like she had been trained by the Aryan nation."
