CNN has been freaking out over a tweet from this weekend that Don Jr. retweeted and then deleted.
His tweet was asking if these tweets by Ali Alexander are true:
Kamala Harris is *not* an American Black. She is half Indian and half Jamaican.
I’m so sick of people robbing American Blacks (like myself) of our history. It’s disgusting. Now using it for debate time at #DemDebate2?
These are my people not her people.
Freaking disgusting.

Jamaicans are Jamaican.
African-Americans descended from Africa. Our history is that of slavery here. Harris’ family were actually slave owners.
She is a brown woman. I’m not going to rob her of anything but I will not allow her to rob my people and our history. Ups and downs.

Don Jr. retweeting this sent shockwaves though the left on social media, because they all bashed him for it.
Here’s CNN yesterday doing their part and using April Ryan to blame it on Trump birtherism:
But the truth is that all of this about Kamala Harris and her not being African-American started on CNN. Back in February. By Don Lemon.

But CNN doesn’t mention that. Not a peep.
Even CNN’s Chris Cillizza came out today with an article about how inappropriate Don Jr.’s tweet was, and never once mentioned that Don Lemon is the one who started all of this.

Total dishonesty.
But hey, this is what we’ve come to expect from CNN. They, and others on the left, would much rather blame people on the right for birtherism than admit that a well-known CNN left-wing pundit is the one who started it.
