Hot Mic: CNN Mocks Philly Mayor, Says 'Irish Lives Matter'

A hot mic caught CNN's John King mocking Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney during his speech to the Democratic National Convention on Monday.

King could be heard laughing and saying, "It's the Irish Lives Matter movement," a play on Black Lives Matter, as Kenney told the audience a story about discrimination against Irish Catholics.
