RNC Chair Reince Priebus is defending his view that Donald Trump has a diverse group among his possible VP picks.
In an interview Wednesday, CNNs Wolf Blitzer questioned Priebus about previous comments he made hoping Trumps veep hopefuls would be diverse. When Blitzer asked him if he was disappointed that no people of color or women made the cut, Priebus said that is not what diversity means to Trump.
Well, I know that all of those things are on the table and I think it also comes down to who he thinks is most compatible, and who would be best for our country, Priebus said.

So diversity from Donald Trump as an outsider, a successful businessman, is these choices that he is looking at.
Blitzer followed up to see if this was the type of diversity Priebus had in mind when he made his comments and Priebus doubled down on the comments......................
