CNN visitor Angela Rye insisted on Saturday that “white folks” shouldn’t escape “accountability” if Donald Trump wins the presidency subsequent month – stressing she doesn’t “want to see a women’s march with pussy hats come January if something doesn’t go right.”
The liberal commentator went on the rant whereas speaking to anchor Victor Blackwell about former President Barack Obama taking black males to activity for not backing Vice President Kamala Harris sufficient.
When Blackwell requested Rye if Obama was mistaken to single out that demographic, the political activist flipped the script.
“What I think is a mistake is to let white folks escape the accountability that they must face for not showing up to save democracy themselves,” Rye stated on CNN.
She then claimed white voters wish to “get mad” if a candidate doesn’t put on a flag lapel pin or visibly pledge allegiance to the flag as a substitute of specializing in extra vital points.
“So the responsibility of saving democracy should be on the largest demographic in this country. That is white men, white women,” she stated.
“I don’t want to see a women’s march with pussy hats come January if something doesn’t go right. What I want to see is them march themselves to the polls, including today,” Rye added.
Shortly after Trump was sworn into the Oval Workplace in 2017, hundreds of thousands of girls carrying pink knit hats –referred to as pussy hats — marched on the nation’s capital and elsewhere to protest the Republican’s presidency.
Rye stood by her fiery feedback on Monday.
“The media seems eager to lay a very close election at the feet of Black men,” she wrote on Instagram. “NOT ON OUR WATCH!”
Trump’s marketing campaign has been working to make inroads with black voters with Election Day two weeks away.
