Abby Phillip moderated a tense exchange between Brad Polumbo and Ana Navarro regarding political rhetoric. Navarro stated that there are protests countering Trump's influence, while Polumbo accused her of being hyperbolic. Navarro claimed her perspective was informed by her identity as a Latino, suggesting that Polumbo's view was less valid due to his identity as a White man. This led to Polumbo accusing Navarro of racism for dismissing his opinion based on race, setting off a contentious debate about racial perspectives in addressing political issues.
NAVARRO: I want to respond to you saying that I was hyperbolic when I talked about a reign of terror. POLUMBO: Who's idea was it hyperbolic? (CROSSTALK) NAVARRO: No, it might be hyperbolic for you as a White man.
POLUMBO: Oh, okay. So, we're being racist now. NAVARRO: It's certainly not hyperbolic for me as a Latino. (CROSSTALK) NAVARRO: No, I'm not being racist.
