Ayanna Pressley on Sunday hit back at Vivek Ramaswamy after he compared her to a KKK grand wizard.
In making his comments last week, Ramaswamy argued that Pressley and Kendi didn't embrace diversity of opinion among members of minority groups.
Al Sharpton, Pressley firmly rejected Ramaswamy's remarks, calling his words "dangerous."
… We don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice," Pressley said during the event.
"We don't need any more Black faces that don't want to be a Black voice."
