Sparks fly on CNN as Ana Navarro discounts pundit's opinion because he's a ‘White man'

CNN senior political commentator Ana Navarro sparked a clash on the network Monday when pointing out a panelist's racial identity during a discussion about Trump administration immigration policies. During 'CNN NewsNight,' Navarro dismissed conservative journalist Brad Polumbo's critique of her view of President Donald Trump's immigration policies by pointing out his race and gender. 'It might be hyperbolic for you as a White man… It's certainly not hyperbolic for me as a Latino,' Navarro said to Polumbo, who took offense at the comment and accused Navarro of being racially discriminatory. The clash happened after Polumbo called out the CNN commentator and 'The View' co-host for referring to Trump's immigration agenda and detention of illegal immigrants as a 'reign of terror.' 'I think you're definitely being hyperbolic when you talk about a reign of terror. When the doomsday alarm from Democrats or media critics is always at a ten, it doesn't hit the same,' he said. 4 Navarro said that Polumbo might feel differently about Trump's immigration policies because he is a White man.

'Also, I want to respond to you saying that I was hyperbolic when I talked about a reign of terror,' she said. Polumbo interjected, 'Because that is hyperbolic.'

‘Rampant bias': CBS slammed for promoting merch tied to ‘No Kings' protests

'Brad vs Everyone' podcast host Brad Polumbo slams CBS for their 'rampant bias' in promoting merchandise for the 'No Kings' anti-Trump protests. 'At least they're not hiding it anymore, their rampant bias and blatant partisanship when they're actually just promoting the merch of an anti-Trump protest,' Mr Polumbo said. 'It's actually laughable, but at the same time it's sad … they've discredited themselves with this kind of rank bias.'
