Before Dennard could respond, Bolden immediately shouted “he can’t” and pressed the CNN contributor to provide an answer. As Dennard tried to say this was inappropriate, Bolden kept at it.

“Let’s listen to him,” Bolden exclaimed. “Let’s listen to you trying to defend yourself as a black man with Donald Trump. Let’s hear it.”

“Scott, I really wish you would hold your tongue because you will not offend my race, my family and my culture and insinuating that my blackness is in question because I support this president,” Dennard shot back.

The CNN commentator then really began to raise his voice, stating that he will not be forced to defend his blackness as Whitfield tried to regain order. She told Dennard she wasn’t trying to get him to defend his race but wanted his response as a black man to Moore’s comments on slavery and Trump’s support of the Senate candidate.
