Later, co-panelist Andrea Tantaros confronted Beckel for downplaying Rice’s experience as not being reflective of the black community, as well as for diminishing her accomplishments.
”I think it’s really unfair for you, Bob, to codify the black community,” Tantaros said. “If you start in a middle-class family, your message isn’t worth it — ‘Sorry, Condoleezza Rice, you didn’t have to overcome anything’ — that’s not fair.”
Beckel largely stood by his statements, saying that she benefited from coming from a family with a mother and a father.
