Black CNN Camerawoman Who Had Peanuts Thrown at Her at RNC Speaks Out

The black CNN camerawoman who had peanuts thrown at her during the Republican National Convention, and then told “this is how we feed the animals,” has spoken out for the first time.

“I hate that it happened, but I’m not surprised at all,” Carroll said in her first and only interview she wants to do on the subject.
