During an interview with CNN's Van Jones at a Citizen By CNN event, former NBA basketball player Grant Hill explained how he felt after President Donald Trump targeted Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and the Baltimore district the lawmaker represents.
Former NBA star calls Trump’s attack ‘unconscionable’
Grant Hill was the original LeBron! One of the most versatile players in history
NPC-90210-MTV NPC-90210 inmate, he’ll be coming to the correctional facility that you’re in and will be serving back to back😂😂😂😂!!
Fix America first. Speak truth to power. That is how mismanaged cities will get fixed like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Flint, Boston, NY, Hartford, Newark, Baltimore and Washington DC will get fixed. Demand accountability. Go back to your home. Fix. Come back and show us how it is done. Do your jobs or move aside so someone else can.
Who cares
Robert Clawson Robert Clawson, you and the Orange Clown first!! Lead by example instead of speaking about it, be about it!!
When a person tell you who he is believe him….💯 People trying to change a 70 year old mind…🤦🏿♂️
@GLC2013 damn name – calling don’t hurt the modern Black Man your ignorance is quiet sad you ask me this is the type of ignorance people spread but we are going to pray for you 👍🏿
@Chris Ullery Obama’s policies brought that about my dear.
When Senator Warren tells you she is a woman of color, believe her and do not question or attack her.
@The Truth don’t you think that’s sort of a tired talking point though? I mean the “drag Trump’s name at any/every cost” agenda has been well overplayed, right? Basically you’ll hear any MSM outlet say “Anything currently good happening was attributed to Obama. Anything currently bad happening is attributed to Trump”. While it seems like a convenient route to take to try to vilify President Trump, it implodes on itself b/c frankly it’s obviously not fair reasoning and is definitely biased. Unfortunately you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Jared Kushner owns housing projects in Baltimore that have racked up HUNDREDS of code violations 😂🤣😂
Mj light did you know that referring to yourself in the third person like The Memo loves to do according to the APA is a sign of either a stunted intellect, the presence of psychotic personality disorders, or rampant egoism? Just a fun fact.
@David Bertrand LOL!! I didn’t even LIKE Trump in 2016. I didn’t vote at all because I thought they were BOTH bad choices. Watching the Dems now, they have gone COMPLETELY insane. I’ll be voting for Trump in 2020. 90% of the country is in favor of cracking down on illegal immigration and the Dems want ME to pay for their healthcare?? What fucking planet are they on??? The debate PISSED ME OFF 😠😠
Mj light the first democrat debate made a lot of voters mad. 2020 will be the biggest landslide since Reagan was re-elected. I didn’t like Trump in 2016 and I still don’t like him. But he beats the hell out of the madness on the left. The first democrat debate lost them the general election.
the biggest rats on the planet are in the whitehouse.
@Hawkzblade Oh, look, another no content CNN troll account 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I swear the only thing they talk about on CNN is that Trump is a racist, there’s lots of things happening around the world that would be nice to hear about on our news channels
No that’s just all you focus on 🙂
Just so you know I’m not sticking up for Trump but most of there stories on here anymore always transition into something about race or talking about impeachment. It’s pretty clear impeachment isn’t going to happen because the Democrats want to beat him in 2020. I just hope they don’t mess up
Impeachment also doesn’t have enough support from both sides. If everyone would stop focusing on it DEMS might have a chance.
@Sultan Ziyad I agree
D Smith they talk about Trump being a racist because Trump is a racist. If you MAGA supporters can’t see that you’re complicit in his racist behavior
Strange fact: Grant Hill’s mom was college roommates with Hillary Clinton
Hillary is Grants godmother!
I have issues with Trump. That being said Hills mothers college roommate is very relevant.
Im not saying it in a good or bad way. Just a strange fact lol
When will the real TREASON TRIALS start. Dates please.
Don’t sweat, Barr’s gonna get every last one of em
Grant Hill is a moron but not guilty of treason.
@Robert Curtin Hope you eat those words and choke
Nice to see Grant Hill!
I miss George Carlin
Brilliant man, but the older he got, the more he hated America, just like you.
Yeah me too he was an awesome conservative voice.
George Carlin was too real for these liberal soy boys.
Willie Not America, just the crooked racist hypocritical rich Christian assholes in it.
@Robert Curtin you are correct my man. I couldnt have said it better.
Baltimore has been called the detroit of the east coast for 30 years.
Trump 2020 nice rant. Republicans are equally, if not superiorly, inept. 30 plus years of pushing policies to line the pockets of the wealthy all the meanwhile rat f*i g the middle class
Trump 2020 clearly you haven’t taken notice of states like West Virginia and Ohio (you know, solid red states?). Talk about cesspools. Y’all like to bring up California because it’s the low-lying fruit but don’t be disingenuous boy, there are equally bad blue states as there are red states it’s just that you don’t like to take notice of that
@Jose Flores
The concept that any politician in Washington “cares” about the average Joe is hysterical ! Congress has abandoned its charter , the whole political machine stands on the shoulders of corporate “welfare” . For the common man “Its about the economy stupid”.
C Hancock and she loved it! 🤣🍆
21TRILLION TRILLION I’m not entirely that cynical yet but I do agree that there’s a large contingent within the halls of Congress that cares more about their own interests and of their wealthy constituents than the common good. And that goes for both dems and Republicans (though I think the repubs have reached a point where they don’t care to hide it anymore)
People who live there maybe the best…but parts of the city are a mess….as are many other cities
Logan Davis Dude don’t give people like him any energy he’s looking for attention
Byron Williams he’s not
Lying. Black peolle are the most unemployed in America in 24 states. Their is 14% of u guys and you fill up the prisons more than any race in history. Y’all are just slavery descendants nothing bigger.
@Logan Davis It’s just a leftist posing as a conservative.
I don’t know why. Everyone has been saying this for years.
Only a coward denies facts that are not to their liking.
@Tucker Carlson
We thank you master for your great analysis. Keep up the good work.
No, only a coward reduces themselves to using insults when the facts are stacked against them
Do your damn job or retire.
Folk Aar
Let them live the way gov has them kicked out on the streets maybe they will clean these city’s up
The Baltimore Sun did an editorial on the impoverished living conditions in that city. Bernie Sanders compared it to a third-world country. Experts on rodent infestation rank Baltimore sixth worse in the nation. The city has lost it’s tax base. Stop letting your political leaders hide. Any elected official who can’t cope with criticism can’t deal with the responsibility of doing a meaningful job.
@David Lentzner I’d say he’s stating the obvious rather than making a point. The problems with B More are well documented, as they are with Detroit, Cleveland, Philly, etc. It’s a nationwide problem. The kind of thing a president is supposed to try and solve. But he makes everything worse.
@blue Corvette red Trump didn’t create this mess called Baltimore. Your man Bernie called it out long ago.
@CD Smith The Democrats have attacked Trump everyday since November 9, 2016. Everyday. Regardless of what he does. If Cummings and the other city officials are so good, explain the nightmare people are living there. And the racism charge, unfounded.
@PJ right
@David Lentzner Okay, accept the status quo in Baltimore and keep the same people in charge who directed it there. But the one thing they can’t say after this episode is that they, the people in charge, aren’t accountable
All it says is CNN using these people of color to attack the president it’s using race as a political tool
@John Allen Lauridsen Jr. What has this got to do with racist remarks
@taf
jobs don’t bring wealth…not jobs alone…you also need to be personally responsible for your budget. Everyone seems to forget that.
@Trump 2020 👍👍
John Allen Lauridsen Jr. People work two jobs minimum wage and still support Trump, that’s what I call stupid 😂 anyway at least l was lucky enough to be born in a well off family. I supported Trump over Hillary but when he got into power he just lost it, you really can’t help people who wont help themselves
It amazes me how the president has the power to change the minds of many with just his finger and a cell phone.
So many can be complaining about something like maybe rat infestation for years but if the president agrees with them they immediately love their rat infestation.
RATS STICKING UP FOR RATS.
LOL WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGH.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think what most of them are saying is they would rather have a few rats in Baltimore than one big one in the White House.
It’s not about that it’s about Donald trump saying mean things in a way that doesn’t help anything it just pisses people off you can’t run a country that way by dividing people or slapping tarrifs on everything if you back people into a corner they will lash out
CD Smith
Well Trump is exposing a whole bunch of two legged rats who needs to take responsibility for their actions and their lack of action.
You can’t blame Trump for stuff just because he calls out those who has been lying, cheating and stealing from their own people.
Van Jones equating Maga Hat wearers to Kap taking the knee is very stupid. That’s like comparing apples to oranges.
Exactly!!!
@MADNEW YORKER the most annoying thing is that he keeps pandering to these racists using these stupid arguments/comparisons all in the name of being a smart objective journalist.
How, exactly?
So now we have expanded the definition of racism to the point that even criticizing any Democrat policy or record if the are.a women or POC is RRRACIST!
Democrats are desperate, always play the race card no matter what.
@Ro 2 He certainly could have meant, “go back to where you came from” … before entering politics. I give him the benefit of the doubt.
oh and by the way racist POS he said to go back where they came from and COME BACK AND SHOW US HOW ITS DONE , I am sorry but I am not sorry you are not as smart as you think you are
Take the exact words and say it to a white person and they are not racist. Say it to a someone of color and now they are racist. Double Standard?
Baltimore has not elected a republican on their city council since the 1930s Democrats have been running the show since then no one to blame but themselves but we’re going to cry racism again and explain to me how that is racism Trump 20/20
The fact that Trump does not cower at the constant and default accusation of Insta-racism on demand….might be just what these fragile, emotional men of color need. Toughen up ! Buck up ! Stop the perpetual and constant victim syndrome…Stop the race cards and let’s do this together.
Maxine Waters sends.
Grant Hill looks amazing! He’s intelligent and articulates very well. I’m impressed
