Speech with Donald Trump supporter Carl Higbie

As a political CNN commentator, Angela Rye called for reparations during a heated discussion with Donald Trump supporter Carl Higbie in 2016. Rye and Higbie, a former Navy SEAL and conservative pundit, were discussing whether the two major political parties are dividing the country when the segment on CNN’s At This Hour went off the rails and turned into a debate over slavery and reparations.

Higbie, started by commenting on how New York City’s skyline represents Donald Trump’s accomplishments and how every other American wants to achieve the same thing.

He added that the Democratic Party wants to keep Americans dependent on the government. Rye became visibly angry at Higbie’s statement. Rye claimed that Trump achieved his success off the backs of “poor people.” The conversation started to skew away from the subject when Rye said, “Part of the real issue here, Carl, is the fact that he won’t denounce white supremacy.”

“The very people who you’re talking about who you think are looking for free gifts and handouts are people who have been disenfranchised since they got off the slave ship in this country, and until you recognize that and pay for that, we’re going to continue to–,” Rye said before Higbie cut her off.

Caught rolling her eyes at claims Trump does selfless acts in his spare time

On July 2016, Rye’s extended eye roll during the network’s panel discussion at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia has set social media alight. She was participating in a panel on when the network’s conservative commentator Kayleigh McEnany began talking about Mrs. Clinton’s track record in office as secretary of state.

‘I love that we have facts like Libya in disarray, Iraq in disarray, Syria in disarray, all under the tutelage of Hillary Clinton’s State Department,’ she said.

McEnany then claimed Trump had ‘done great things too’ in response to Bill Clinton’s praise of his wife’s record helping schools and adoptive parents. ‘Well, that’s great,’ McEnany said. ‘You know, Donald Trump has done great things in his private time, too, for veterans, all across his foundation. ‘He’s done great things, too.

We’ve all done great things in our lives and I commend her for helping children, that’s a commendable thing.’ But Rye struggled to hide her feelings at the comment, unleashing the eye roll. It was the ‘Eye Roll Heard ‘Round The World’, according to New York Mag, as social media went crazy.

Thoroughly Traumatized by the TSA

Angela Rye was randomly selected for additional screening in Detroit on 20th December 2016. She has shared a video that shows her bursting into tears during an aggressive TSA pat-down in which her dress was lifted up and her genitals were hit. She was surprised when she was randomly selected for additional screening in a nearly empty Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

Rye had already gone through the metal detector and full body scanner and had both TSA PreCheck and was a clear traveler, which allows you to skip the security line. But the full body scanner alerted to her right boot and three places near her genitals.

The TSA officer then informed Rye that they would have to pat down the area. ‘I didn’t care about anything but one place on my body,’ Rye wrote in an op-ed about the incident for CNN. ‘I said in complete disbelief: “You know you aren’t putting down my vagina, right? Like that’s not happening.'”

But the TSA officer said she had to unless her supervisor said otherwise. The supervisor then said he would call his manager. ‘I repeated my protests: I have a Homeland Security background. This is a severe violation of my privacy and civil liberties,’ Rye wrote. ‘Please just let me get the scan again. Rye said the TSA agent then began to insist that it was a ‘backhanded pat around the upper thigh’.
