Stating that she would never call another commentator a bitch on-air, Wilberforce University in Wilberforce board member Angela Rye’s swift response to Gina Loudon, a member of President Trump’s 2020 Advisory Council, is going viral across social media.

From Vibe:

Angela Rye’s passionate sentiments on today’s weary politics have always been appreciated. The policial commentator and shero was given more props than usual this week when fans assumed she called an employee of President Donald Trump a b***h on CNN.

Rye’s debate with Gina Loudon, a member of President Trump’s 2020 Advisory Council, took place on Wednesday (Aug. 15) during Outfront with Erin Burnett. The topic at hand was the White House’s refusal to disclose the number of black staffers to reporters. Loudon attempted to pivot the topic by claiming black staffers aren’t needed for presidents to make executive decisions.

“I think, you know you look back at our history and we have a pretty amazing history of overcoming slavery, of expanding civil rights, of women’s rights, and a lot of those things happened under American presidents who didn’t have any minorities at all on their White Houses,” Loudon said.

Throwing slavery into the mix and denouncing the many black icons who shaped the Civil Rights Movement clearly warranted a swift response from Rye who’s “but which” statement was interpreted as “wait b***h.”

“What you said was deeply offensive. What I am telling you is you can’t say, at least you shouldn’t feel comfortable saying it in 2018 that this White House not having diversity can be akin to presidents who didn’t have any black people on their staff,” she said.
