Black Voters Leap to Trump’s Defense, Say Kamala Really Is a Race Chameleon
A group of Black Republicans is supporting former President Donald Trump following his controversial speech at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) event. Jimmy Lee Tillman, from the Martin Luther King Republicans, criticized the Democratic Party’s efforts to retain Black voters, suggesting they are failing. He commended the NABJ for hosting Trump despite some internal dissent, notably the resignation of co-chair Karen Attiah, who expressed frustration over not being consulted about his invitation.
During the event, Trump made remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, questioning her racial identity and implying she switched her identity from Indian to Black. Tillman echoed Trump’s claims by presenting evidence, such as videos showing Biden swearing in Harris as the first Indian-American senator, labeling her a “chameleon.”
Tillman believes the Democratic Party’s tactics will not succeed in the 2024 election and argues that Harris will not replicate Barack Obama’s success. He criticized her image and the current state of the economy, asserting that voters are aware of rising costs and socio-economic challenges but are not being addressed by the Democrats.
A group of black Republicans is springing to the defense of former President Donald Trump after Trump’s contentious appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists this week.
“It appears that the Democrat Political Industrial Complex (DPIC) is working its butt off to stop the exodus of Black voters who are just not buying their crap,” Jimmy Lee Tillman wrote on the website of the Martin Luther King Republicans.
Tillman said that the NABJ event was “[a]n example of this.”
Tillman applauded the NABJ for “not allowing a few triggered journalists to spoil the historic moment of a presidential visit.”
Two days before the event, NABJ convention co-chair Karen Attiah quit the post in protest over Trump’s invitation, according to the New York Daily News.
Attiah said she had not been consulted about Trump’s appearance.
Trump made waves at the event by saying Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, recently shifted her prime racial identity from Indian to black.
“I’ve known her a long time indirectly, not directly, very much, and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage, ” Trump said according to a video posted to social media platform X.
“I didn’t know she was black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black,” Trump said. “So I don’t know, is she Indian, or is she black?”
“I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn, and she went — she became a black person,” he said.
In his post, Tillman noted that proof of Trump’s contention exists.
“Videos show V.P. Joe Biden swearing in Harris as the first Indian-American in the Senate. These are excellent proofs that Kamala is a chameleon,” he wrote.
Tillman said the Democratic Party’s “fear-mongering, gaslighting and vote-shaming won’t work in 2024.”
“Harris will not be able to replicate the 2008 presidential phenomenon, as Obama left a negative taste. The Black community received nothing tangible in return for their eight years of silence,” he wrote.
“Harris may have the optics, nice power suits, and pearls, but everyone sees through her like glass,” he wrote.
“The backdrop of familiar DNC staffers is obvious, and Harris’ fake accents, smiles, and laughter aren’t working either. The streets are not shouting, ‘Yes, we can!’ The streets are shouting, ‘No, we won’t!’”
Tillman noted that what voters know is that “food is still high, gas is still high, and illegal immigrants are taking jobs, committing crimes, and straining limited resources. People are not ignoring this.”
