Summary

Melik Abdul, a GOP strategist and Black Americans for Trump Coalition member, criticized Donald Trump on CNN for blaming a D.C. plane crash on DEI policies without evidence.

He warned that Trump’s recent rise in Black voter support isn’t guaranteed.

    You know, when there’s a “Black People for the guy who has a extremely well-documented history of discriminatory behavior towards non-white people that he undoubtedly learned at a young age from his dad” group and they help you win elections, you can pretty much do and say whatever you want. Stockholm syndrome’s an especially vindictive bitch when a whole country has to deal with the repercussions!

        RIGHT!? I mean, ignore the lawsuits against his dad and him for discriminatory practices as landlords or the long-debunked shit he said about Saudis celebrating 911, or the constant categorizing immigrants as “murderers and rapists.” Seriously, short of wearing a fucking white hood, what more does a guy need to say or do to be universally seen as what he so clearly is? Burn a cross on the Elipse?
