Political commentator Angela Rye declared on CNN that "White folks" should face accountability "for not showing up to save democracy" if they don't vote for Vice President Kamala Harris next month. During an interview on "First of All" Saturday, CNN host Victor Blackwell addressed the backlash against former President Barack Obama after he scolded Black men for not being more supportive of Harris' presidential campaign, in light of polling that shows Black men trending toward former President Trump compared to previous years. "This is the first time since he was in Pittsburgh and invoked the potential of sexism in his...

Vice President Harris offered effusive praise for Sean “Diddy” Combs while participating in a town hall dedicated to the coronavirus and black Americans. The two-hour event in April 2020 was co-hosted by CNN political commentator Van Jones and also featured Rev. Al Sharpton and “Squad” members Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx) and Rep.

In a moment that rivals noteworthy CNN panels that devolved into verbal chaos (examples here and here), Friday’s AC360 saw another inductee as CNN political commentator and former Congressional Black Caucus staffer Angela Rye irresponsibly, hypocritically, and recklessly declared that she’s never said a thing that’s anti-police but seconds later screamed that “rogue cops” go out so they can “shoot black people for sport.” From the moment Rye dropped this vile talking point, fellow Democrat and St. Louis Police Officers Association representative Jeff Roorda understandably reacted with anger at “the most offensive thing I’ve ever heard on this network” and...

A liberal CNN commentator pointed to the familiar red "Make America Great Again" hat as a trigger for her distress. "Just think about the symbol of that red hat. When I see the 'Make America Great Again' hat now, Chris, I'm triggered, I'm so triggered," said Angela Rye during a segment on Chris Cuomo's Tuesday show. The hat, she said, is a symbol of President Trump's policies — policies she said are bigoted. "This 'Make America Great Again' hat is just as maddening and frustrating and triggering for me to look at as a KKK hood. That is the type...

Maxine Waters just cranked the identity politics up to “max.” The Democratic California congresswoman delivered an emotional address in Selma, Ala. on Saturday, telling her audience that she will sponsor legislation to provide African Americans with “reparations” for slavery if Democrats take back the House in this year’s midterm elections. Waters also took aim at President Trump, criticizing his feud with Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un. “This business about who’s the biggest, who’s the baddest, who’s got the biggest gun,” Waters said. “This president keeps edging that on. You know, he’s a bully. He has a bully mentality.” The 79-year-old lawmaker...

The conversation about monuments — particularly which should stay and which should go — has eclipsed nearly all other conversations in the week following a rally-turned-near-riot in Charlottesville, Virginia. CNN's Kate Bolduan spoke to liberal analyst Angela Rye on Thursday, asking her whether the uproar was truly just about the monuments. Rye claimed that the problem ran much deeper than that: .. Rye concluded her argument by asserting that America was very close to once again being a nation of slavery: “We definitely need to learn about it so that we don't repeat it, because we're very close to repeating...

CNN political commentator Angela Rye called for reparations during a heated discussion with Donald Trump supporter Carl Higbie on air Tuesday afternoon. ... Higbie, a former Navy SEAL and conservative pundit, started by commenting on how New York City’s skyline represents Donald Trump’s accomplishments and how every other American wants to achieve the same thing. He added that the Democratic Party wants to keep Americans dependent on the government. Rye, the former executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus, became visibly angry at Higbie’s statement.

Angela Rye, Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus, argued that President Obama has struggled during his first term due to racially-motivated opposition from conservatives who dislike having a black president. "This is probably the toughest presidential term in my lifetime," Rye said during CSPAN's Q&A yesterday. "I think that a lot of what the president has experienced is because he's black. You know, whether it's questioning his intellect or whether or not he's Ivy League. It's always either he's not educated enough or he's too educated; or he's too black or he's not black enough; he's too Christian or...
