GOP strategist reacts after CNN host confronts him about anti-diversity rhetoric

GOP strategist Shermichael Singleton clashed with CNN host Abby Phillip during a heated panel discussion on "NewsNight" about the Trump administration's anti-diversity initiatives. Multiple panelists argued that the second Trump administration has made dismantling diversity programs central to its policy platform. Singleton objected, claiming that characterizing anti-diversity positions as racist confuses voters. Phillip challenged his statement, pointing out that he had essentially equated being anti-diversity with racism.
