For nearly a 20 minutes Tuesday night, CNN political commentator and Donald Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord tried to defend the presumptive GOP nominee’s racist rant against a federal judge.

It didn’t go well at all. Instead, seven other panelists raked Lord over the coals.

Asked whether he would denounce what Trump said as racism, Lord said, “It wasn’t racism. He is calling attention to racism. Hello!?”

Lord added: “If I thought he was a racist, I would not be here.”
