Black Democrat Goes Off on MSNBC Host Craig Melvin After He Accuses Him of Being Paid to Support Trump
Georgia State Representative Vernon Jones fired back hard after MSNBC host Craig Melvin suggested he might be getting paid to support President Trump.
Jones, a Democrat and member of the Black Voices for Trump Advisory Board, was questioned about his backing of the President.
“Are you a paid campaign surrogate? Are you being compensated?” asked Melvin.
Because it’s impossible to be a Democrat or even more so, black, and support this President without some ulterior motive. At least that’s how MSNBC sees it.
July 29: After Democrat @RepVernonJones used FACTS to explain why Black Americans aredoing better under President Trump, Craig Melvin asked:
“Are you being compensated [by the Trump campaign]?”

Jones Doesn’t Fit The Narrative
Clearly haven taken offense to the suggestion that he was being paid to support President Trump, Jones didn’t hold back in his response.
“Let me be clear. You get paid to shape a liberal narrative. You get paid to attack this president,” Jones fired 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.”
Principles are not something members of the mainstream media are particularly well-versed in.
Melvin insisted he hadn’t asked the question because Jones happens to be black, but the Georgia lawmaker wasn’t having it.
“You only ask me that because I don’t fit your narrative … It’s what I can do for my country and you need to accept that many other African Americans and others support this president because of his policies,” Jones seethed. “And to insult me to say am I getting paid, that is disgraceful.”
I went on MSNBC and they accused me of being a sell-out.
The Left is so racist that they think the only way a black man will think for himself is he’s paid? I’m tired of the bigotry. @realDonaldTrump – I’ve got your back! pic.twitter.com/MbftgawuLV

Accuses Melvin of Getting Paid vernon jones melvin
In what we would consider the best retort to Melvin’s accusation, Jones accuses the MSNBC host of getting paid himself.
“Why can’t I be like White liberals or other Whites, nobody questions if they’re getting paid, so do you ask Democrats are they getting paid?” he charged. “Are you getting paid by Joe Biden?”
Well, we all know MSNBC doesn’t need to get paid in order to serve as an outlet for Biden and the DNC. That’s their entire modus operandi.
Just left the Oval Office from meeting with @realDonaldTrump and @VP.

Jones met with President Trump in the Oval Office earlier this week and emerged “happy and proud” knowing that his administration is working “extremely hard to make sure America is going to be healthy again.”
Joe Biden, by contrast, isn’t going to make things better according to the Democrat.
“Joe Biden can’t do anything in the basement. We need a man – that can get the job done, that has a proven record,” he told viewers. “And President Trump can get the job done.”
