Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.) on Wednesday blasted Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) for citing a black official from the Trump administration to challenge allegations that President Trump is racist.
Lawrence called it "insulting" that Meadows used the testimony of one person, Department of Housing and Urban Development staffer Lynne Patton, in an attempt to nullify those accusations.
“Having endured the public comments of racism from the sitting president, being a black person, I can only imagine what is being said in private. To prop up one member of our entire race of black people and say that that nullifies that is totally insulting," Lawrence said during Wednesday's House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing, which featured testimony from former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
