CNN Host Laura Coates Erupts at Pro-Trump Guest on Panel Talking Race
A CNN panel grew testy Wednesday night during a discussion about Donald Trump’s racist comments about Vice President Kamala Harris earlier in the day, with anchor Laura Coates reprimanding a Trump-friendly guest for talking over her.
On Laura Coates Live, the namesake anchor spoke with four guests, one of whom was Bruce LeVell, the former Executive Director of the National Diversity Coalition for Trump. When Coates asked him how Trump questioning Harris’ ethnicity and saying she “turned Black” could possibly help his campaign, LeVell took a while to answer the question, first praising the National Association of Black Journalists, where Trump spoke.
When he got around to the issue at hand, LeVell didn’t criticize Trump’s comments and tried to put the onus on Harris for how she has described herself at various points in her life.
