Minority Trump supporters challenge Politicon session | Fox News
It's good to see people think for themselves, and speak up to challenge the status quo.NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A Politicon session unraveled into chaos when two minority Trump supporters criticized media figures who were participating in a panel on being "black in the age of Trump."
The panel at the event in Nashville, Tenn., included many people who have been critical of the president, including CNN analyst April Ryan and Above the Law executive editor Elie Mystal. At one point, Mystal argued that Trump and the "MAGA" hat allowed people to identify openly as bigots in a way that the Ku Klux Klan hood didn't.
"They are self-identifying for you who they are and what they are about," he said. Before that comment, he claimed that President Trump gave people "license" to self-identify with racism, bigotry and misogyny.
That flew in the face of what Jimmy James, a black Trump supporter who was wearing a "MAGA" hat, said he believed. After the moderator, former MSNBC host Touré, ended the session, James spoke up and challenged the panelists who remained on the stage — Touré, Ryan, Mystal and author Malcolm Nance.
