Trump’s Diversity Director Explodes at MSNBC Host: ‘You’re Making up Lies!

Trump’s Diversity Director Gets Visibly Frustrated With NBC’s Craig Melvin: ‘You’re Making Up Lies!’ (Mediaite)

During a panel discussion Tuesday afternoon on MSNBC about race and politics, one network guest who works on behalf of President Donald Trump decided to lay into anchor Craig Melvin during the segment.

Bruce LeVell, the Executive Director for the National Diversity Coalition for Trump, took extreme issue with the point of Melvin’s opening question, which dealt with the Commander in Chief’s long-running unwillingness to denounce a rise in anti-Semitism. This morning, Melvin interviewed Trump at the National Museum of American History, where the MSNBC anchor forcefully got Trump to officially make the denouncement. “Of course. And I do it wherever I get a chance, I do it,” said Trump.

But LeVell wasn’t buying the argument that Trump hasn’t been inclusive of diversity, and angrily shot down any suggestion that the president didn’t denounce anti-Semitism sooner. Melvin opened up by asking LeVell, “Can you name the other times that the president has denounced anti-Semitism?”
