New York City residents sounded off to Fox News correspondent Lawrence Jones on “Hannity” Monday about former Vice President Joe Biden’s potential running mate, as well as the presumptive Democratic nominee’s recent comments about the African-American community.
“At first, I went, ‘Here we go, another White man who has some antiquated views,'” one man told Jones, the host of “Keeping Up With Jones” on Fox Nation.

“I feel like it might be a form of affirmative action,” said the man, who also criticized Biden’s diversity comments. “And I have no problem with that, that’s cool.”
