As Donald Trump took back the Oval Office, the liberal media were up to their usual tricks.
During CBS’s coverage of the inauguration ceremony on Monday, anchor Gayle Link remarked that the ceremony was too white for her liking.
“I have to say, I’m looking at this crowd, I do not see many people of color,” King remarked.
“I’m fascinated by why that is.”
In a post on the X platform, CBS News noted that the inauguration coincides with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday that is celebrated on the third Monday of every January.

Many people mocked or criticized her tasteless remarks across the X platform.
Gayle King on cbs is questioning why there aren’t more “ppl of color” at the inauguration. Of course.

Made the mistake of putting on CBS for inauguration. First thing I heard from Gayle King –
“I can’t help but notice there are not a lot of people of color in the crowd.”
The fact that this is the first thing you’re looking for is exactly why this guy is about to be inaugurated…

So Gayle King from CBS Mornings comments about not seeing “many people of color” and the comment section responds.
We’re done with the race baiting BS.

Needless to say, there were countless numbers of people of color attending in the inauguration, most notably J.D. Vance’s wife Usha.

Even in Donald Trump’s cabinet, there are also people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, including the nominee for FBI Director Kash Patel, his nominee for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Scott Turner and his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
