Former President Donald Trump has been courting Black voters but has also drawn controversy by using racially charged sentiments by suggesting he has strengthened his appeal to Black Americans by claiming they relate to his multiple criminal indictments.
Trump made the remarks at the Black Conservative Federation Gala in Columbia, South Carolina, last week.
President Joe Biden's reelection campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond said the comments were "plainly racist."

ABC News Live: Abdul, what were your thoughts that night when you heard these comments during the event?
Ali: It's about time that somebody started telling the truth. I mean, he's only speaking to what some Black folks have experienced for a very long time, which is a disastrous justice system in many cases. And ultimately, we can all see this playing out right in front of our very eyes. I didn't-- I wasn't offended or didn't feel like anything he said was racist in any way.

There is going to be an attempt to have our most recent imports to vote illegally en masse as a counter. Since contesting voting irregularities appears to have "no standing" after the fact, the RNC and AGs better get off their duffs now (they should have been already) and put a priority on election integrity.
The remarks are ‘controversial’ only to liberals..................
I saw that speech.
The black people in attendance laughed when Trump made that comment. They were not offended, only the white lefties in the news media were “offended.”
A big reason why NYC has RCV...
Deep State has to steal elections in so-called blue states...
And why Deep State is importing foreign voters.
I’m trying to understand how Trump’s comments could be interpreted as “racially charged”.
They needed to have started that years ago.
Texas AG was impeached for his trouble in exactly what you suggest. Some of his own Pubbie colleagues, like Judas, obviously RINOs, served him up for the unfair persecution he received (and survived).
They’re trying to say that Trump must believe that black people by and large are lawbreakers.
Well, here is the quote that is causing so many to flop onto the fainting couch:
"I got indicted a second time and a third time and a fourth time and a lot of people said that that's why the Black people like me because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against. And they actually viewed me as I'm being discriminated against. It's been pretty amazing," Trump said to applause.
Horrifying, isn’t it?
he used the word “blacks”......thats all it takes for the spin machine
Just the news people trying to divide us. See Tagline.
The duo Trump Latinos had a catchy tune that reached number one on iTunes after the GA indictments. “They hit him with the RICO” is a line. They even refer to Joe as “pedo.”
I though the Left cared what “black and brown” people have to say. /s
Thought*
It’s black men who will buy into what he’s saying. Black women are a lost cause.
Ike Turner got a bad rap. That would go a long way.
So if President Trump says that many blacks will empathize with him over the unfair treatment he’s received by the courts, that’s supposedly racist and “controversial”.
If Biden says if you don’t for him you ain’t black, that’s not racist or controversial.
It’s amazing these people have any audience at all.
