Throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, CNN spent countless hours attacking President-elect Donald J. Trump as a racist bigot who was a threat to the future of America.
Well, in what may be the most ironic situation ever, CNN has just been slapped with a multi-million dollar class action lawsuit filed by the network’s own black employees accusing CNN of being racist.
From The Daily Caller:
Odd, considering how vigorously CNN leveled those same charges before and after the election. CNN host Van Jones called the election of Trump a “whitelash” against a black president, while a CNN contributor accused Trump of “a lack of tolerance for other people.”
Now, the channel that openly called Trump a “bigot, racist and misogynist” who would “embolden bigotry” faces its own allegations of racial discrimination from black employees.
Former and current black employees filed a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination against CNN, Turner Broadcasting and Time Warner, reports the Daily Mail.
The lawsuit was filed by two individuals who allege that black employees were paid less and had fewer opportunities for promotions than white employees at CNN.
The two CNN employees claim that “Dramatic’ differences in pay, harsher evaluations for black males and fewer available promotions are among evidence of the prejudice” in the lawsuit.
Another individual, DeWayne Walker has a $50 million lawsuit against CNN in which is claims the network refused to promote him for 13 years because he is black, instead choosing to promote white employees.
The lawsuit against the liberal network also claims that black employees had to deal with “racial slurs and other prejudices from management.”
Given that multiple CNN employees have accused the liberal network of engaging in racist practices, they are in no position to EVER accuse President-elect Donald J. Trump and his supporters of being racist and bigoted. Could it be that CNN is deflecting from accusations of racism by attacking Trump? It wouldn’t be the craziest theory in the world.
Please share this post with all your friends and family if you think CNN should offer Trump a public apology given the accusations made against the network!
