‘Change the sheets’: Conservative on CNN profanely slams Trump’s race remarks on Harris

Donald Trump made a major misstep by attacking Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ racial identity during a conference for Black journalists Wednesday, conservative political analyst and former White House deputy director of political affairs Scott Jennings told a CNN panel.

“He did crap the bed today. The only question is whether he's going to roll around in it or get up and change the sheets,” Jennings said during CNN host Abby Phillip’s Wednesday night broadcast of "NewsNight."

“My advice would be: get up and change the sheets," he said.

Jennings rebuke is the latest in a torrent of backlash against Trump over the calamitous interrogation at a Chicago National Association for Black Journalists conference which ended with his own team abruptly cutting off the interview. Jennings says a better strategy for the Trump campaign would be to attack Harris on her policies and record, not her race.

“This is not going to end the way he wants it to end,” Jennings said. “There’s a better way to do this and they know what to do but it’s on him to do it.”

Later on in the panel discussion, commentator Ashley Allison riffed on Jennings analogy, saying that Trump’s inflammatory race remarks may have landed better in 2016 than they do now.

“Donald Trump is sloppy with his words, quite honestly,” Allison said, eliciting laughs from the rest of the panel “Now its old and old slop is messy, and it stinks, and it's nasty and you need to clean it up.”
