A better answer would have been:
“I agree with you. African Americans SHOULD get reparations. That’s why I advocate ending the Democrat Party, liquidating its assets, and using them to pay reparations.
“After all, the Democrats were the party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow and segregation. And they were the party that filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
“I think you and your supporters should go right down to the Democrat National Headquarters and march, protest and DEMAND reparations.
“And YOU Mr. Nevel, should be absolutely ashamed of yourself for associating yourself with The Democrat Party, and for using them to further your own personal career.”
“Shame! SHAME! Mr. Nevel!”
Game, set, MATCH.

He should call a press conference--they'll all show up, smelling blood and hoping for pitiful and futile contrition--and give exactly that speech. Then he should refuse all questions, turn on his heel, and leave.
The rest of the campaign should be a whirlwind of TV ads--lots of Klan hood and the like--and radio spots and tweets built around that theme.
They wouldn't know where to stick their fork.
Internet post of the day.
You should send that to him. Excellent retort.
