Two black cable news commentators threw racial slurs back and forth via Twitter on Tuesday after one of them called black Trump supporters “mediocre Negroes.”

Marc Lamont Hill, an analyst for CNN, started the war of words on Monday night during a panel discussion on “CNN Tonight with Don Lemon.”

Bruce LeVell, who is on Trump’s diversity coalition, responded, “You weren’t even there… Pastor Darryl Scott, Mike Cohen, they are in the process of bringing all types of people from all over the country, from all different backgrounds.

“Yeah, it was a bunch of mediocre Negroes being dragged in front of TV as a photo-op for Donald Trump’s exploitative campaign against black people. And you are an example of that,” Hill responded.
