Crowds hounded Jones and hurled ugly racial slurs outside the White House Thursday
Vernon Jones, the Georgia Democratic representative who spoke at the Republican National Convention (RNC) Monday on behalf of President Trump, is calling on Democrats in Congress to open hearings on the unrest that's been gripping American cities.
Jones spoke with Fox News on Friday, following his experience being surrounded by an angry crowd as he left the White House after President Trump's RNC speech Thursday night. The crowd, which was held at bay by a handful of police officers shouting "move back" and forming a protective barrier around Jones, hurled insults including ugly racial slurs.
"Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the entire DNC and Congress and all the state heads and chairs of Democratic parties, they need to come out and denounce this hatred, this vitriol, condemn Black Lives Matter and then Antifa," Jones, who is Black, told Fox News. "Congress should hold hearings ... and hear testimonies from those of us who are being attacked. It should also do a thorough investigation to see who's funding ... these professional domestic terrorists, and they should be held accountable."
