CNN political commentator Angela Rye compared ICE officials who separate families at the U.S. southern border to slave traders during a heated debate on CNN Thursday night, adding that she didn't recognize Donald Trump as her president.
The commentary came during a segment on "Cuomo Prime Time" with former Trump campaign spokesperson Jason Miller, also a CNN commentator.
The back-and-forth began when Miller argued that it was important for the U.S. to enforce its immigration laws in securing the border and criticized Rye for wanting an "open borders" policy. Rye argued she never called herself pro-open borders.
“Clearly you don’t want to enforce the border laws because that’s what I’ve said," Miller told Rye, a staunch critic of the president.
"No, what I don’t want to enforce is your president’s nonsense," responded Rye. "You guys know that this policy is ass-backwards. Plain and simple. You guys know this policy is inhumane, plain and simple. Like, if you just take yourselves out of it for just a moment, take off the lenses of bigotry for just a moment and imagine —“
“Okay, so now we’re getting into the name-calling?” injected Miller.
“Um, yes, we are. I’m calling this process, this procedure is absolutely based on bigotry and fearmongering. If you don’t understand that your president announced his campaign by talking about ... building a wall," replied Rye.
“My president? He’s our president, Angela. He’s the president of the United States," Miller interrupted.
“Not mine. I will never claim a bigot, ever," said Rye.
Rye continued to criticize the administration's former "zero tolerance" policy of separating families at the border that was lifted by executive order on June 20. Rye made the comparison between ICE and those who brought her ancestors from Africa on slave ships.
“I wish I could tell you from where in Africa my ancestors came from, at least part of them, but I wouldn’t know because the same bigots who are sending people back away from their children are the ones who brought my ancestors here on slave ships. Congratulations.”
“If he’s not your president, then I mean, then who is your president?” Miller pressed.
“You want to stay on that point because it has nothing to do with child separation and I’m not going to argue that," Rye said.
The debate comes amid continued controversy over detained migrants. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials denied on Thursday report a report that migrant fathers are protesting conditions in immigrant detention centers by going on a hunger strike.
ICE, in a statement to Reuters, said that “a small group of fathers and their children (fewer than 50 total) staged a brief sit-in” at Karnes County Residential Center in Texas, “and expressed their concerns about their immigration cases.”
Illegal aliens make compliant workers.
These people are all twisted up inside. You can’t talk to them.
ICE is run by the democrats?
The fake news media is DOUBLING DOWN on their violence inducing anti-Trump hate vitriol. It used to be 90% of their activism, now it’s 100%, all the time all day Anti-Trump hate in even higher levels in the hopes of getting the Left to become violent.
Rye has her pretty head up her fifth point of contact. Slave traders brought people here against their will. Illegal aliens invade here and are returned from whence they came.
Exact opposite.
Illegal aliens make compliant workers.
Shhh...you’ll upset the US Chamber of Commerce.
They don’t want you to talk to them.
They are instructing you.
Africans sold their enemies to slave traders. I fail to see a connection.
Is CNN actually a mental institution?
When will the left figure out ICE is not the border patrol and doesn’t operate along the border. ICE does lots of things but it isn’t the law enforcement at the southern border.
1. Obama-era policy
2. Trump changed it to be more “humane”
3. You’re welcome
Fake families, fake news.
No conservative should go on those shows. The host can simply say "we invited a GOP spokesperson to give the administration side to this, but that person declined because he thought we were "full of shit", whatever that means..."
Angela Rye?
Hi, I’m Joe Barley, this is my friend Ann Buckwheat, and say hello to Bill Oats.
The Cheap Labor Express are the real slave traders of the modern era.

I say they win — expedited review ON THE SPOT.
“Denied — deport this moment.”
“Denied — deport this moment.”
“Denied — deport this moment.”
“Denied — deport this moment.”
“Denied — deport this moment.”
“Denied — deport this moment.”
“Denied — deport this moment.”
“Denied — deport this moment.”

These people are all twisted up inside. You can’t talk to them.
Their chief weapons are ad-hominem, deflection and projection, with a lot of straw men and red herrings thrown in for effect.
I’ve found, on Christian forums, that this formula is not just a liberal issue. It is the MO of anyone who has a strong opinion on a subject and considers those that disagree with them “stupid” or ignorant, yet they, themselves, can’t support their position. This is what leads people to the realm of being unhinged. It can happen with any subject matter. It is the MO of the side that has decisively lost the argument.
CNN doesn’t give a rat’s azz about illegals...They only are backing them because President Trump wants something done about them...
Anything he does or says will be fought by CNN, no matter what it is...
Her idol's tribe (Obama's) was deeply involved in the slave trade. That is why they are predominantly Muslim to this day. Why, because for centuries the Muslims took tens of millions of Africans to be slaves.
In 1833 there was a conference in Paris to end slavery in Europe. In attendance were the representatives of several African tribes who gained great wealth in the slave trade.
“adding that she didn’t recognize Donald Trump as her president.”
Well, if he is not your president, you can’t impeach him.
