Sarah Huckabee Sanders Stumbles Over Incredibly Easy Diversity Question Following Omarosa's Ouster

Despite her claims, the team is hardly "diverse."

NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker had an incredibly easy question following the downfall of Omarosa Manigault-Newman. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders couldn't answer it.

Welker wanted to know how many senior staffers work for President Donald Trump. Sanders responded that the White House has a "diverse team."

When pressed for a number, the press secretary admitted she didn't have one on hand.

The real answer appears to be that, as of Omarosa's departure, there will only be one senior Trump administration staffer who is African American—Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson.

Watch Sanders' comments below.
