CNN Chief Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin complained about the lack of diversity on President Trump’s legal team – while seated on an all-white CNN panel.
“White House and white people,” said Toobin, a white guy.
Here’s that clip of Toobin mocking the Trump legal team as “White House and white people” and “a lesson in the diversity of the two parties” (so ignoring how all lead 2020 Dems are white) He also went the sexism route, wondering if the female lawyers will be “allowed to argue” pic.twitter.com/R5dD2MqFBQ

“I mean, you know, this is a lesson in the diversity of the two parties,” he said. “I mean you look at the House managers, it was almost evenly divided between men and women. It was, you had two African-Americans, you had a Hispanic.”
“It was all white men today,” he continued. “There are two white women allegedly on the team, we’ll see if they’re allowed to argue.”
The Caucasian pundit said that was a problem in what he called a visual medium.
“One side has a very diverse team and the other side has all white men that says something in and of itself,” he said.
