Despite those who will call him a bigot and a racist, President Donald Trump is sending a clear message to black voters everywhere, and Van Jones warned his fellow Democrats on Tuesday night to be aware.

Following the State of the Union address, the CNN analyst issued a warning that President Trump is helping African-American people "in real life" and working hard to gain their votes in the 2020 election. And more importantly, that it is working.

Jones said, "What he was saying to African-Americans can be effective. You may not like it, but he mentioned HBCUs [historically black colleges and universities> — our black colleges have been struggling for a long time, a bunch of them have gone under — he threw a lifeline to them, in real life, in his budget. He talked about that. He talked about the criminal justice reform. He talked about opportunity zones. He talked about school choice."
