Democratic Georgia Rep. Vernon Jones told MSNBC anchor Craig Melvin that he is “paid to shape a liberal narrative” during a heated interview on Wednesday in which the lawmaker took exception to a question about whether or not he’s compensated to support President Trump.
Jones, who a member of Black Voices for Trump Advisory Board, was asked by MSNBC anchor Craig Melvin if he is paid to support Trump as a Democrat.
"Are you a paid campaign surrogate? Are you being compensated?" Melvin bluntly asked.
“Let me be clear. You get paid to shape a liberal narrative. You get paid to attack this president,” Jones shot back. "I don’t get a dime for this president. I don’t get a dime from the campaign. Everything I’ve done has been me and based on my principles.”

Of course not. Everyone knows they’re doing it because Trump is holding their relatives hostage./s
I thought his response was great.
Why didn’t Melvin just cut to the chase and call him an “Uncle Tom” because you know that is coming.
It was the implication that either he is an Uncle Tom (who was loved and respected by many, BTW) or is being paid.
Surprised she didn’t call him an Uncle Tom or a House Slave?

Of course. And Trump has hired a squad of goons armed with AK-47s and other weaponry to patrol the area, to make sure there’s no escaping.
Craig Melvin punched a hornet’s nest with a No. 2 pencil and paid the price for his stupidity. Yep, even Forest Gump knew that if you do stupid things you win stupid prizes. Rep. Vernon Lewis is a patriot.
I think a better response would have been for Rep. Jones to have ask Melvin if his wife is still turning tricks on Peach tree street.
