GOP lawmaker put on spot on CNN over Trump's 'overtly racist' Obama post

CNN's John Berman put a Republican congressman on the spot about an "overtly racist" post President Donald Trump shared overnight.

The 79-year-old president shared a video created by the conservative Patriot News Outlet that had an image of Barack and Michelle Obama's smiling faces superimposed on the bodies of apes in a jungle, with a clip of the 1961 song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," by the Tokens, and the "CNN News Central" host challenged Rep. Mike Haridopolos (R-FL) to justify the post.
