New York Times’ Charle Blow Accuses Ex-Cop of Racism in Explosive CNN Segment (Video)

A CNN segment went off the rails on Monday as New York Times columnist Charles Blow and ex-NYPD cop Harry Houck got into a heated exchange where racism was charged.

While discussing the #BlackLivesMatter movement, Houck said it’s crazy to suggest all of white America is against black america.

“That is a racist statement in itself Harry,” Blow said. Houck then interrupted Blow, which set off Blow. “I let you speak and you’re going to let me speak Harry.”

Houck countered sarcastically that “because I disagree with you, I’m a racist, right?”

Trying to rein in the segment, Anderson Cooper asked Houck if he thought African Americans are treated differently by the justice system.

“No I don’t,” he said, saying he never saw that in 25 years in the NYPD. The debate grew more heated as legal analyst Sunny Hostin chimed in to criticize Houck, cautioning him to be “very careful” with his statements.

“Be careful Harry, that is not true,” she said as Houck claimed the black community is where most of the crime occurs.
