In a fiery CNN interview, political commentator Angela Rye declared that white voters should be held accountable if Vice President Kamala Harris fails to win the 2024 presidential election. Speaking with host Victor Blackwell, Rye criticized white Americans for not taking responsibility in “saving democracy,” suggesting their inaction could have dire consequences.
Rye’s comments came after former President Barack Obama addressed hesitation among Black male voters. While praising Obama’s efforts, Rye shifted the focus, claiming white voters often escape scrutiny despite their demographic dominance. She argued that many view the January 6 Capitol riots as patriotic, stating, “The responsibility of saving democracy should be on the largest demographic in this country.”
Her remarks have stirred heated debate, adding another layer of tension to an already polarized election season.
