CNN’s Chris Cuomo to Trump: ‘Attack the racists instead of targeting mostly black protesters’
By John Bowden - 08/11/18 10:40 AM EDT
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo this week questioned why President Trump appeared to prioritize criticizing African American athletes over racism.
During the "Closing Arguments" section of Cuomo Prime Time, the CNN anchor suggested that the president could find an easy "win" by extending an olive branch to black athletes.
"So many protesting players, white and black, have said this isn't about disrespecting the flag. He knows that," Cuomo said. "He doesn't seem to care. Why?"
"It's OK if it divides people and stokes prejudices. That's leadership? That's winning?" he added. "This is like jingoism - patriotism that's really about targeting a minority. In this case, mostly black players."
