During his appearance on the show, host Sonny Hostin attacked Jones for some of his past commentspraising Trumpfor policies aiding the black community, such as opportunity zones, funding for historically black colleges, and criminal justice reform
“You do spend a lot of time, you know, threading the middle and trying to unite people, but there are those who really accuse you of being a political opportunist – a chameleon, so to speak – who provided racial cover for former disgraced, twice impeached President Trump,” Hostinsaid. “People in the black community don’t trust you anymore.”
Fellow host Ana Navarro later chimed in, backing up Hostin and claiming that many people in the black community felt betrayed by Jones, who is black, for praising some of Trump’s policies.
