| [The Hill] Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) met with representatives from CBS News to discuss the ongoing controversy over the network’s lack of black reporters slated to cover the 2020 presidential race. "CBS admitted they had a lot of work to do & committed to including Blacks on their 2020 election team & all other teams. True diversity is the inclusion of ALL. I won't let them off the hook!" Waters tweeted Tuesday night. The California Democrat had earlier sent a tweet panning the network for its lack of diversity in its campaign team. "CBS, the efforts on your website about your support for diversity fly in the face of your display of all of the reporters you've selected for the 2020 campaign. Not one Black. What's up with this? An explanation is needed," she tweeted Monday morning. |

| #4 True diversity is the inclusion of ALL "Where's the stoopid flappy-moufed raycis black bags with bad wigs? I'm not represented!" |

| #3 I have an idea - CBS ought to hire RuPaul as a 2020 reporter. He (?) checks all the boxes - black, gay, practically transgender, and it'll make a complete mockery of this diversity / quota bullshit. |

| #2 Careful, Maxine - you're gonna get whacked treading on Jesse Jackson's & Al Sharpton's turf. |

| #1 What's up with this? An explanation is needed... If an explanation is unavailable, large bags of greenbacks will do. |
