I abhor Shermichael Singleton.

He’s a conservative republican pundit and GOP strategist.
He’s all over CNN as their conservative roundtable member and Trump proponent.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s black and I don’t understand black republicans.
But he just makes my skin crawl when he speaks and defends Trump.
Anybody else feel this way?

Is that what CNN is after? Seems like a bad choice. He makes me reach for the remote!

3. I've never seen him, but anybody who supports and defends Trump

is going to make my skin crawl because Trump makes my skin crawl. And I don't get Black Trump supporters, either - not that Black people should be expected to be a political monolith, but how can any Black person (or, for that matter, any Latinos or LGBTQ people or cat ladies or damn near anybody else who isn't a straight white evangelical Christian male) justify supporting such a blatant racist? Mr. Singleton, get a clue; he hates you!

He’s the classic Black MAGA person that doesn’t really believe anything but is hoping selling out his people will get him a life changing payday or opportunities

Except when they find out they are included in the group being trashed they convince themselves that the bag and tokenism will be worth it

He's no worse than the other trumpers at CNN, David Urban and Scott Jennings for example are even more deplorable in my opinion.

7. I can't stand him. Or Scott Jennings, or Pin Head.

I can't remember Pin Head's name, but he's this small man with a shaved head shaped like a bullet (pointy on top). They used to always have him sitting between two women, usually Dems or at least one was a Dem. Anytime she'd be talking he'd turn in his chair and just stare at her.

These people, along with a few others, are why I don't watch CNN much. I'll flip it over in the morning to see what the Tumbling Triplets are saying, then I'm gone. Takes less than five minutes.

Blacks voting for Trump should be ashamed of themselves. They are shameful to my black family. We just don't get it.

9. He was on MSNBC a few times...

...and never seemed for the RAPIST, but maybe he is different on CNN. (I refuse to watch CNN since the RAPIST got that gushy hour the day after he was found liable of sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll.)

11. From the first time I heard him on a CNN panel could not stand him. Also, Chris Jennings. Both are idiots.

I actually curtailed my CNN time to just specific programs as I couldn’t stomach hearing them spew the rhetoric espoused by TFG and his sycophants.
