WH tells CNN they're upset with 2 contributors. They're both people of color. [View all]

Think Progress - 2.17.2017

...the Trump administration is particularly upset with two CNN contributors, both of whom happen to be people of color.

“Mr. Kushner has taken issue with specific CNN contributors including Van Jones, a Democrat who served in the Obama administration, and Ana Navarro, a Republican strategist, who have each criticized Mr. Trump in harsh terms, the people familiar with the matter said,” the WSJ reports.


Both Navarro and Jones responded to the report on Twitter:

Van Jones@VanJones68
"Got a lotta people tryna drain me of this energy." But y'all know @CNN has our backs. Do you? RT if yes! (@jaredkushner, u can RT, 2!)
