MSNBC’s Symone Sanders-Townsend asked whether President Donald Trump fired Air Force Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown Jr because he was Black despite Trump originally nominating Brown for a different position in 2020.
Sanders-Townsend was part of a panel on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” that commented on Trump firing several top military officers, including Brown, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump announced that he plans on nominating retired Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine to take his place, marking the first time a president has pulled a military officer out of retirement to head the Joint Chiefs.
She took issue with Brown’s firing, insisting that his race needed to be considered as a factor.
