Wednesday on CNNs At This Hour, CNN political commentator Angela Rye criticized evangelicals who support President Donald Trump.
Rye was discussing acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Ken Cuccinelli changing the words of the poem The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus at the base of the Statue of Liberty to, Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge, during an interview with NPR.
Rye said, Emma Lazarus, so of course that brings me to the Bible. I think about, you know, the God that I serve. You know we see all of this evangelical support for Donald Trump and I wonder what Bible are they reading? There are some Bibles that have Jesus words in red print. Theres nothing about Christs words that are in alignment with the policy of limitation we see from this administration.

Keep in mind the socialist dem party booed GOD. President Trump unabashedly prays to, and praises him!
Trump lines up very well with the description of Gideon.
Angela Rye Moved to Tears While Discussing Trump & Racism on CNN
Those huddled masses had financial sponsors who pledged to make sure they didnt become a public charge.
OK DEMS, step up and sign on the dotted line that you personally will accept financial responsibility for a family.
I doubt if a lot of her beliefs are in line with Christ. What gives her the right to judge.
toast
But, the Democrats, who favor abortion until birth, do to this woman.
I love how the left invokes Christ, then supports abortion.
CNNs Rye to Evangelicals: Nothing About Christs Words Align With Trump
Well that is because he is not Christ.
Christ’s words do not align with your words.
Christ’s words do not align with CNN’s words
Christ’s words do not align with any of the 2o some Democrat politicians running for the Presidency.
But as Christians we still have a need to view those we chose to have earthly authority over us with a view towards at east picking someone that doesn’t hate Christianity and everything it stands for. Someone that is not going to restrict religious freedom. When you choice is Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump why would you not chose Trump?
IF you are hated, it's because you are DUMB, not because you are BLACK!
If the commie nazi leftists would read a Bible theyd know better than to lie about it but since theyre allergic to any legitimate faith path in the Divine theyll never even try to learn about our Creator or what moral teachings hes provided for our lives. Its very sad
Angela Rye: I always knew I was black
By Angela T. Rye February 24, 2017

Angela Rye is a CNN political commentator, NPR political analyst and CEO of IMPACT Strategies, a political advocacy firm in Washington. She is also a former Congressional Black Caucus executive director and general counsel.
(CNN)I never had a moment of realization about my blackness I just was. Blackness was a central thread of my experience as a child and as an adolescent, as it is now that I’m an adult.
It seemed like my father knew everybody in Seattle, where I was raised. When he and I would walk down the street I remember people would regularly ask him how he was doing. He would respond without missing a beat: “You know, just out here fighting this racism, man.”
My mother worked really hard to ensure that I had black dolls (of all hues), black books by black authors, and my personal favorite: a poster from the 1975 Anheuser-Busch Great Kings and Queens of Africa collection (of course, she removed the beer logo). She would regularly have me name family members and friends who looked like each of the queens and kings on the poster.
My mother would always emphasize that we were related to the royalty on that poster because EVERYONE originated from Africa. Not only did I always know I was black, I always knew we were and are beautiful, culturally rich, and creators of everything from the sciences to the arts.

Angelique Kidjo: What Jimi Hendrix and Nelson Mandela taught me about racism
My father constantly reminded me that he named me after Angela Yvonne Davis, a scholar and activist who was well known for her work in tandem with the Black Panther Party. That felt like a purposeful, beckoning call to engage in strategic resistance and to fight for the oppressed.
Our name means “bringer of truth” or “messenger of God.” For me that meant telling teachers when history books either inadequately represented or misrepresented black people. That meant engaging in high school discussions about re-starting the Black Panther Party and then settling for the creation of a Black Student Union instead. It meant serving on a community committee, developed by the police chief, to address excessive force and police brutality in my hometown of Seattle.
It meant protesting Initiative 200, which worked to strip gains made by people of color in Washington state by eliminating affirmative action policies. It meant serving as a youth chaplain to the King County Juvenile Detention Center while I was in college. It meant running a computer lab at a community center, so people like me had access to technology. It meant tutoring black high school students to make sure they got into college.
The First Time I Realized I Was Black
In “The Souls of Black Folk,” W.E.B. Du Bois talks about the first time he realized his skin color made him different. We asked celebrities, CNN anchors and reporters, and others to tell us when they first realized that being black affected how people treated them. Share your own story with #realizediwasblack

Indeed, with every instance of systemic oppression, black people have demonstrated an uncanny ability to succeed and excel from Black Wall Street (a name given to a economically thriving black neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during the early 1900s, which helped the black dollar circulate 36 to 100 times before leaving the community) to working diligently to elect the first black president.
We overcome in the face of unprecedented obstacles. And yes, we still have a tremendous amount of work to do.
Can you imagine the irony of Harriet Tubman being on a $20 bill as the wealth gap between African Americans and whites continues to widen? How likely would it be for the $20 bill to turn over even ONCE in the black community before finding itself in the hands of another business?
Can you imagine what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would say about us reciting a portion of his “I Have a Dream” speech from the March on Washington but failing to implement a tangible agenda to ensure our real freedom nearly 54 years later? Can you imagine what civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer would say about us being too “sick and tired” to ensure protection of voting rights?
Imagine what our ancestors would say about this being the year of #BlackGirlMagic, with the record-breaking success of “Hidden Figures” in contrast to the disheartening presidency of Donald Trump, who asked us: “What in the hell do you have to lose?”
As rapper J. Cole says: “The good news is n—— you came a long way. The bad news is n—— you went the wrong way.”
We, as a nation, went the wrong way on Election Day. The country embraced systemic oppression, racism, and xenophobia. And it is not the first time this country has taken a wrong turn. It just means we will have to work a little harder to turn this around. It is time to face inward to strengthen ourselves and our community.

I am so proud to be black. I am, nevertheless, tired of the oppression. We need to develop and support a cohesive black agenda. We need to do what leaders have suggested since slavery. We need to recognize that while we are not monolithic, there is power in embracing a common agenda. There are so many things that can never be taken from us our desire to seek change, our resilience, and our progress.
This February, I am so proud to be part of a team that launched a campaign called #OurBlackisBeautiful to celebrate our beauty and our unity for Black History Month and beyond. We are working with some great influencers to support a threefold concept: #BuyBlack, #BankBlack, and #GiveBlack.
These three pillars remind us of the importance of supporting each other. We are encouraging people to support these key concepts beyond February, because they have been a critical aspect of nearly every agenda developed for the black community.
Trump's message is
Love of country
Love of all people
The American Dream: Liberty, justice, and prosperity for all the people of the world.
What about that is hard to understand.
In contrast, Trump's opponents preach hate, violence, and division and that the USA is an evil, racist, nazi nation that must be destroyed. What's Christ-like about that?
Yes, Rye, but we know you are really speaking about your fav . . . the Antichrist.
A party whos foundation is slaughtering babies should never claim any moral authority.
What about Paul? 2 Thessalonians, Chapter 3, Verse 10?
For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.”
The Only Thing Angela Rye Wont Wear on CNN
The political commentator and attorney proves with every TV appearance that serious women can be fashionablewith a little help from a friend who keeps her not just looking cute, but fashion-forward.

There is a seemingly endless cast of talking heads on CNN, but if youve heard an Angela Rye sound bite, youre unlikely to forget it. The 38-year-old lawyer greeted Omarosa Manigaults departure from the White House with a joyous Girl, bye! and told conservative radio host Joe Walsh, in a conversation about then-White House press secretary Sean Spicers patronizing exchange with reporter April Ryan, Im not talking to bigots.
But Rye is far more than whats seen on TV. My life is not revolved around commentating, she says by phone from L.A. Though Ryes celebrity is increasing daily, she only sees it as fuel for her actual work, which includes her podcast On One with Angela Rye and her role as C.E.O. of IMPACT Strategies, a D.C.-based political advocacy firm.
But when a public appearance is required, Rye knows that her image mattersor, as her friend, InStyle editor Kahlana Barfield instructs, making sure that I am not just looking cute, but looking fashion forward. Take her appearance at an official city event in Memphis in February, where she wore a black beret cocked to one side to advocate for the citys sanitation workers, who continue to suffer from poor quality of life even as the city commemorates a landmark 1968 strike. The beret was, yes, about the Black Panthers, and her namesake Angela Davis. But also, Black Panther just came out, so Im all Wakanda everything right now.
Rye, who has also partnered with Tamara Mellon on a one-of-a-kind platform shoe made from vintage scarves sourced in L.A., spoke to Vanity Fair about how fashion and advocacy cooperate, plus how her relationship with Common has helped her grow.
Vanity Fair: I was digging through your Instagram and had to pause at the picture of your look from the Essence Black Women in Hollywood lunch. How did that look come together?
Angela Rye: I have a great friend whos also from my hometown, in Seattle, named Kahlana Barfield, who is the InStyle fashion editor. She is extraordinary and she has been on me about making sure that I am not just looking cute but looking fashion forward, so that was a look that Kahlana actually pulled from Naeem Khan. Ive always cared about appearance and making sure that I was together, but Kahlana makes sure Im extra together.
Do you feel like youve had to evolve your style as youve gone from behind the scenes to appearing on CNN regularly to being more in the public eye?
Yeah. I would say if I didnt, Kahlana would definitely make sure that I did. It does take a lot of work. The hair, the makeup, and all that stuffmaking sure youre together takes a lot of work. People think its a lot of glamour, but, man, it is a whole lot of work. I wish I wouldve known that. Its fun when you get to see the pictures after. Youre like, O.K. it was all worth it.
Were moving past this idea that serious women cant be fashionable. A really interesting moment is where you were debating S.E. Cupp about gun control in this really elegant one-shoulder shirt. I feel like you display that duality of femininity really well.
Yeah, the most important thing that Im learning in life is, its really critical for us to always be our 100-percent selves. We are always evolving. The best thing about humanity is we can continue to grow and to learn and to develop and find new passions and find new things we like. For me, being able to wear what I want to wear, or wear my hair the way that I want, or decide if I want to wear my glasses one day because my contacts are irritating me, or whatever is a decision that is clearly mine. Im grateful to work with media partners and to be an on-air contributor with a platform like CNN that doesnt ever second guess what I decide to wear, unless the patterns too busy for the eye on camera. Other than that, I have full creative control.
Was the beret you wore to commemorate the Memphis sanitation workers strike an intentional homage to revolutionaries or did you just not even think about that?
She definitely didnt wear a beret, but I was named after Angela Davis and of course shes affiliated with the Black Panther Party, so theres that. But Black Panther just came out so Im all Wakanda everything. And even though there were no Black Panther cast members in a beret, hopefully they will be in the sequel. Theres gotta be a sequel! Were almost at a billion dollars international at this point.
Whats a typical morning routine for you?
Atypical. Theres never a day thats the same. Everything is different. Like, we just finished what were calling the #WorkWoke tour at the end of Black History Month, and for me that meant being in a different city every morning. And because I was so afraid that I was going to miss a flight, I was waking up every hour. Theres not a typical day. Sometimes its first thing in the morning, I have to wake up and do commentary on-air or I have conference calls for clients or I have to be at an event or make an appearance somewhere. Its always very different, but the one thing I try to do every morning is take a moment to myself and express gratitude to God for being here, and doing my devotionals so I can set my day off right, because you never know when somebody, especially a Trump supporter, might get under your skin.
Youre being featured in shoe designer Tamara Mellons International Womens Day campaign. How does her story resonate with you?
Tamara Mellon as a shoe designer is dope. When I think about brands that I want to be associated with as a woman and as a black woman, I think about Tamara Mellon. The shoes are amazing, theyre comfortable, and I have several pairs at this point. And the thing that I really, really like about her is shes down to earth. She doesnt say, Hi, Im Tamara Mellon, the co-founder of Jimmy Choo. That never even comes up. You have to search that on the Internet to find out her background.
Getting to shoot with them for their International Womens Day campaign was a dream come true, because theyre like, you know, boss up in these pictures. The other women featured, [Womens March founders Paola Mendoza and Sarah Sophie Flicker, and Westworld co-creator Lisa Joy], are people I admire. Some of them are friends. I cannot wait to see where she goes with the brand.
Lastly, in your relationship with Common, are you learning anything about navigating the public eye, since this is more of his world as a celebrity?
From meeting Common Ive definitely become a better human being, and for that Im grateful.
CNN CHRIST EXPERT ANGELA RYE
This is utter crap. I live in the south. Supposedly the very hub of racism. What I see daily are angry blacks who will not even make eye contact with me in passing. If there is racism and hate it is from the blacks. A black family will move to a white neighborhood to be safer from crime. It does not work the other way. Sure, meanness and evil know no color, but...
