Then, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) asked him why he thought the ruling was "critically important."

While there's no problem with elite white men having positions of power, they shouldn't be the only ones having positions of power. In most cases, that's how it is now. There's no diversity, and it's out of sync with how this nation really is. Time to change.
