Angela Rye Explodes on Trump Supporter with Black Child: ‘You Are’ Supporting a Pres. Who’s ‘a Threat to His Future’

‘My black life matters and so does my voice’

RUSH EXCERPT:

RYE: "You're going to keep talking over me. My black life matters and so does my voice. Listen to what I'm saying to you. What you said was deeply offensive. What I am telling you is you can't say, at least you shouldn't feel comfortable saying it in 2018 that this White House not having diversity can be akin to presidents who didn't have any black people on their staff, but for slavery, freeing slaves. That's not okay in 2018. I let you talk through all of that nonsense. I need you to let me finish my point. My point is this. You're not going to be able to successfully name one black person who works in the west Wing because you know what, Omarosa didn't even work in the West Wing. Regardless of your points about slavery which are nonsense, I hope you rip those talking points tonight, they should never be resurrected. I am telling you it is a problem in this White House with the staff, the reason is it is slim pickings. You know why? Because nobody wants to work for a racist. There's not a single senior black person in the White House, and don't you dare say Ben Carson because he doesn't work there, how dare his gifted hand who is a brain surgeon and who has never done anything on a construction project -- it is nonsense like your talking points."
BURNETT: "Go ahead, Gina."
LOUDON: "I understand your feelings on this."
RYE: "No, you don't."
LOUDON: "I have an adopted minority son, yes, I do, who happens to have down's syndrome. He experiences bigotry every day in a myriad of ways, not just skin color, also because of his disability. I understand that you and I don't agree, but I would not support a president I believed would be a threat to his future."
RYE: "Well, you are."
LOUDON: "I would like a constructive conversation. I think points like yours that are focusing only on the negative and not even acknowledging 700,000 new jobs for black people in this country, record low unemployment and the rest of it, it is tantamount to what Andrew Cuomo said that upset me that America has never been great."
