Jordan Knight on Trump’s Racist Comments

After NKOTB’s virtual cruise, Jordan came back to Twitter – after months of being silent – with a couple of tweets regarding shares and the return of the UFC. But then last night, he took another turn.

Sharing a clip from CNN, where Trump asks an Asian American reporter to “Ask China” about the coronavirus deaths, Jordan began to share his thoughts:

And whatever you all think of my tweets about this and whatever you think about me for tweeting it… it’s all good. I ❤️ all of you and we can disagree.

The next night, he tweeted

Should we move on to religion for the next topic? ?
