There Are Not 'Both Sides' Regarding Anti-Semitism And Racism
Thank you, Dean Obeidallah and Jason Johnson, who appeared on CNN's Newsroom this morning. Theywere asked to respond to Dave Chappelle on Saturday Night Live:
JASON JOHNSON (THE ROOT): Look, I'm one of those modern sort of millennial gen Xers people. I didn't watch "Saturday night live" as much as I used to but I will say there is nothing to laugh about when the president-elect has picked a white supremacist with ties to terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to be his senior adviser. I'm not laughing. In fact, people are afraid and concerned. I think the fact Dave Chappelle said look, we will give him a chance, he gives us a chance and 24 hours later, Donald Trump is attacking the press and putting Steve Bannon in that position, this is not something to laugh about. People need to be concerned. People need to push back against this kind of Presidency. If we laugh at it and normalize it, there's a problem.
