Dana Bash took GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy to task for comparing Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) to one of the modern grand wizards of the modern KKK during an Iowa campaign event on Friday .

Bash provided a stern fact check for Ramaswamy on Sunday mornings State of the Union, when she tried to get the political newcomer to defend his comments about the lawmaker, who became the first Black woman to represent her state in Congress when she was elected in 2018.

You know, Im sure, the KKK was responsible for more than a centurys worth of horrific lynchings, rapes, murders of Black people, she said. How, in any way, are the views youre talking about comparable to the views and atrocities committed by the KKK?

On Friday, Ramaswamy lashed out at Pressley over 2019 remarks in which she said the Democratic Party doesnt need any more brown faces that dont want to be a brown voice.

Ramaswamy tried to rewrite his comments, telling Bash he only said Ku Klux Klan leaders would be proud of Pressley.
