CNN Democratic Strategist Van Jones explained to Donald Trump supporter Jeffery Lord on Tuesday that it was disingenuous for the billionaire candidate to claim he would destroy Islamic terrorists groups while ignoring questions about domestic white supremacist groups.

On CNN’s Super Tuesday election night coverage, Republican strategist S.E. Cupp noted that Trump’s refusal to disavow the Ku Klux Klan and former Grand Wizard David Duke during a weekend interview was a “dog whistle” to “other-ize other candidates.”

Lord called Cupp’s attack “liberal speak.”

“I hate to say this about the Republican establishment but their view of civil rights is to tip the black waiter five bucks at the country club,” Lord opined. “This is why Donald Trump has the ability [to win] because he’s not going to patronize people.”

“Hold on,” Jones politely interrupted, bringing a hush over the other pundits. “The things that Donald Trump has done — and not just in this race — are horribly offensive.”

“S.E. is right,” he continued. “He is whipping up and tapping into and pushing buttons that are very, very frightening to me and frightening to a lot of people.”

Jones argued that when Trump was “playing funny with the Klan, that is not cool.”

“I know this man, when he gets passionate about terrorism, I know how he talks about terrorism, the Klan is a terrorist organization,” Jones explained.

“It’s a leftist terrorist organization,” Lord interjected.

“We’re not going to play that game,” Jones shot back. “No, you need to take a serious look at the fact that this man has been playing fast and loose and footsie. When he starts talking about terrorism, he gets passionate, he says, ‘No, this is wrong.’ But when you talk about the Klan, ‘Oh, I don’t know, I don’t know.'”
