On Tuesday's CNN Tonight, host Don Lemon cued up author Michael Higginbothum to claim that there was "racial amnesia" and a "Jim Crow mentality" around white voters being willing to vote for Donald Trump in spite of him using "a lot of racial rhetoric" in the campaign. Higginbothum -- author of Ghosts of Jim Crow -- went on to liken modern times to the era after Reconstruction when former Confederates celebrated the Ku Klux Klan and denied that slavery was primarily to blame for the American Civil War.
At about 11:08 p.m ET, Lemon cited an article on CNN.com which tied Trump's election to "racial amnesia." Lemon: "There is a piece on CNN.com, and if you guys at home haven't read it, you should read it. This is where historians discuss Trump's winning being described as a revolt by white working class voters, but that it had little to do with racism or xenophobia. They're calling this 'racial amnesia.' What do you think about that?"
Higginbothum complained that there was "a lot of racial rhetoric" from Trump that many voters ignored which "should have prohibited those individuals from voting for" him
