[See NewsBusters for more.] The CBS This Morning co-hosts on Tuesday had no objection when guest Spike Lee mocked African Americans who support Donald Trump as “some negroes” who will “drink orange Kool-Aid” for the President. Lee also corrected himself when he referred to the violence and looting going on in some cities as “riots.” The filmmaker changed his wording to “uprisings.” In his new movie about Vietnam War vets Da Five Bloods, Lee features a black Trump supporting character. Co-host Gayle King was baffled, “Now knowing how vocal you've been against the President I think many people were surprised that you made that decision. How come?”
