'If you think statistics and facts are racist, I don't know what to tell you,' Zhu told CNN host Alisyn Camerota.
Zhu told CNN host Alisyn Camerota Monday that she stood by her comments, and claimed that everything she said was supported by factual evidence.
Camerota pressed Zhu on why she focused on problems within black communities rather than any other ethnic groups. Zhu explained that the tweet was specifically related to a conversation about police violence towards black people, and was sent in response to suggestions that"all cops are bad people, that they kill innocent black people. I think that you shouldn't just put a blanket statement over all cops.
Pushed again on why she pulled up black on black violence statistics in a discussion about police brutality, Zhu again claimed her comments had been taken"fully out of context...If you think statistics and facts are racist, I don't know what to tell you."
