Sally Kohn: Trump Treats ‘White Supremacists With Kid Gloves,’ Goes After Black People With ‘Outrageous Terms’

Thursday on “CNN Newsroom,” liberal political commentator Sally Kohn said President Donald Trump “has a pattern of treating white supremacists with kid gloves and going after black people and black athletes with outrageous terms.”

Kohn said, “I mean, here we are, we’re talking on Thanksgiving Day, right, where we are literally celebrating the holiday by which white forebearers in this country came and kicked Native American people off of their land and slaughtered and pillaged them. You don’t have to be ashamed of that. You don’t have to feel guilty.”

She added,”But let’s face facts. The fact is that Donald Trump has a pattern of treating white supremacists with kid gloves and going after black people and black athletes with outrageous terms. You didn’t like what the guy said? All right, fine, attack him. That’s a little weird you’re so sensitive. You’re supposed to be the grown-up, you’re the president. You’ve got to call him Don King?”
