Few if any other cable news analyst, commentator, or host has this issue with maintaining a level of decorum on set or respect for their fellow guests the way that CNN’s Angela Rye does.

On Wednesday night, Rye’s disdain for respectful discourse surfaced on Erin Burnett OutFront as she insisted that “America has never been great” and not only rolled her eyes but turned away from the camera at the notion of Trump campaign board member Gina Loudon have an adopted minority son with Down Syndrome.

Rye first was incensed by Loudon’s points about the lack of diversity within the Trump White House and that while she wants to see more diversity there, it’s been difficult for anyone to express even tepid support for the President without being ostracized.

Nonetheless, Loudon argued that presidents not having a minority-laden stuff didn’t exactly guarantee success/failure as the real focus should be on the positive policies coming as a result of the Trump presidency.

Given a chance to respond, Rye lashed out (click “expand” for more):

RYE: I think I got stuck at Gina saying that American presidents have done a great deal for people of color like ending slavery? Like I think I'm stuck in 1865 right now. Like I can't believe that's the justification. LOUDON: That was a Republican president. RYE: You know what, sis? And that's great, but you just really missed the mark. For you to have to say, right, that we don't necessarily need diversity in this White House. LOUDON: That's not what I said. That is not what I said. RYE: Let me just tell you what I heard because I don't think you hardly understand. LOUDON: No because I want to address my words, Angela. RYE: White — because Gina, what you're not going to keep doing is talking over me because my black life matters and so does my voice. So, what you’re going to do right now is listen to what I'm saying to you. What you said was deeply offensive and what I am telling you is you can't say, at least you shouldn't feel comfortable saying it in 2018 that, you know, this White House not having diversity can be akin to presidents who didn't have any black people on their staff....but for slavery, freeing slaves. Like that's not okay in 2018....Ma’am, I let you talk through all of that nonsense. I just need you to let me finish my point[.]

Rye insisted that Loudon should kill “those talking points tonight” because “they should never be resurrected” and that she shouldn’t dare cite HUD Secretary Ben Carson as a black member of the administration.

Loudon told Rye that “I understand your feelings on this” and Rye said “no, you don’t” on race, so Loudon revealed this as Rye rolled her eyes, sighed, and turned her head away from the camera (click “expand” to see more)

LOUDON: I have — I have an adopted minority son, yes, I do, who happens to have Down's Syndrome and he experiences bigotry every single day in a myriad of ways, not just skin color, but also because of his disability and I understand that you and I don't agree, but I would not support a president I believed would be a threat to his future. So, what I would like to have — RYE: Well, you are. LOUDON: — is a constructive conversation and I think, you know, I think points like yours that are — that are focusing only on the negative and not even acknowledging 700,000 new jobs for black people in this country, record low unemployment[.]

Okay, so to recap, Rye basically mocked her guest for having a minority son with Down Syndrome and suggested that Loudon is a danger to her own child’s future. How tasteless.

It got worse as Loudon brought up New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo’s insistence that America was never great and Rye agreed as she shouted over Loudon

And America has never been great. It is not great because people like you come on and lie for the president of the United States and then — and then — and then tout, bring out your son as an example? You should be completely ashamed of yourself.

All the while, Burnett did nothing to interject or call out Rye’s immature antics. This is CNN.
