Americans Disgusted After Trump Tweets that Biden is ‘No Longer Worthy’ of the Black Vote
As we reported yesterday, Joe Biden was explaining the political dynamic within segments of the country and noted that, unlike the black community, the Latino community was incredibly diverse in its political views. It was an awkward way to say that there are many conservative Latino voters, but it was fairly obvious to everyone who heard it what Joe was trying to say.
It doesn’t matter, obviously, to the Trump campaign, who immediately jumped on it as proof that Joe Biden isn’t worthy of the black vote, and that black Americans should look for a new candidate.
Yes, apparently the man who retweeted a couple yelling “White Power!” and who said that there were “fine people” among the racists in Charlottesville, believes that Biden’s statement disqualifies him from the black vote in this country, which is almost as laughable as the idea of Trump being a civil rights advocate, which also got floated yesterday by Geraldo Rivera.
So there is a lot of talk about who black Americans should be voting for, and Trump is here this morning to say that it shouldn’t be Joe Biden, while others are pointing out that Trump really doesn’t have a lot of room to maneuver in this topic:
After yesterday’s statement, Sleepy Joe Biden is no longer worthy of the Black Vote!

The fact is, while Trump has been both a Democrat and Republican in his life, has been both pro-choice and pro-life, has been all over the map on economic policy, there is one constant in his life, and that is racism:

This was a theme that many jumped upon, that Trump has no room to talk about anyone being hostile to black Americans.
Says the guy who was investigated by the Nixon DOJ for racial bias, who still thinks the Central Park Five were guilty, who has a top advisor who is literally a white nationalist, who called torch-wielding nazis "very fine people"… https://t.co/VnuhVKMhZW

Remember how you had the rental applications from Black people marked with a "C" for "colored" so you could deny them apartments? And how you were sued for racial discrimination by Doj — twice? And how you settled — twice?

How about you allow Black Voters to decide who's worthy of their vote, and who is not? Are you saying black people can't make that decision themselves?

You do realize you put a full page ad out criminalizing 5 black youths for a crime they didn’t commit, think Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization, didn’t care about John Lewis, and called black NFL players sons of b*tches, but go on about Biden.

Wait…did Joe Biden defend white supremacists as "very fine people," call Black Lives Matter a "symbol of hate" and call black athletes protesting systemic racism "son of a bitches" who should be "fired"? Nah that was 100% Trump. https://t.co/fUmvNFFu8m

Is the dude who called Black Lives Matter a terrorist organization, telling black people who they can and cannot vote for? https://t.co/fo79mmS2q9

Nice try, President Klansman (@realDonaldTrump).
But despite Joe occasionally making a point in an awkward way, thinking people – in other words, not your base – don't believe for a minute he's racist.
Meanwhile, your status as a stone-cold racist is long standing and real. https://t.co/Dadob6gWrP

It’s truly unreal. Remember folks, 88 days. That’s it. 88 days and we can have President-Elect Biden. LET’S DO IT.

Peace, y’all
