Van Jones, the former Obama administration official and current CNN commentator, said on Friday that President Trump ‘doesn’t get credit’ for the ‘good things’ he has done for African Americans, prompting Twitter users to call for his firing.

Jones made the comment while providing on-air analysis during Jake Tapper’s daily CNN broadcast on Friday.

Tapper began the segment by panning Trump’s comment during Thursday’s debate in which the president said he had done more for black Americans than any of his predecessors aside from Abraham Lincoln.

The CNN host, who mentioned Lyndon Johnson’s signing into law of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as an example of a president who did more for African Americans than Trump, then played a clip from the debate. 

In the footage, Trump says he is the ‘least racist person in this room.’

‘Eight in ten black Americans believe that Trump is a racist, according to a Washington Post/Ipsos poll earlier this year,’ Tapper said.

'I think it's really unfortunate because Donald Trump, and I get beat up by liberals every time I say it but I keep saying it, he has done good stuff for the black community,' Jones said.

‘Black college stuff, I worked with him on criminal stuff, I saw Donald Trump have African American people, formerly incarcerated, in the White House - embraced them, treated them well.

‘There is a side to Donald Trump that I think he does not get enough credit for.’

On Twitter, Jones was slammed by Trump's critics. 

One person tweeted on Friday in response to Jones' comments on CNN: 'Jeeesus why is Van Jones still talking about anything? What an embarrassment.'

'Van Jones is an idiot,' commented another Twitter user.

Another Twitter user tweeted: 'Every time I think Van Jones has turned a corner, he disappoints.'

One Twitter user tweeted that they change the channel every time he appears on CNN.

Another Twitter user called on CNN to fire him. 'Time for CNN to let Van Jones go,' they said.

'Maybe he should tell the families of the ones that have lost love ones to Covid-19 how good he has done,' another Twitter user wrote.
