"This is the first time I had required DEI training, and what was objectionable about this specific training is that it divides people up based on race, and then it assigns blame based on skin color," Anderson told Lawrence Jones and Ainsley Earhardt on Friday.
"That's the essence of racism. And so we have a state law in Arizona that prohibits state agencies from using public money to teach race blame, or any kind of racial judgment."
