commentator Van Jones sparked backlash for suggesting the police officers - all of whom were black - who beat and eventually killed Tyre Nichols may have been 'driven by racism.' The night shows Nichols, 29, crying out for his mother multiple times during the brutal January 7 assault, which took place just a few blocks from his home. He died shortly thereafter. Jones, one of CNN's star liberal commentators, wrote Friday that black people 'are not immune' to the effects of anti-black racism and that the narratives of police violence should never be as simple as 'white cop kills unarmed black man.'
