‘Perfect ending of identity politics’: ‘The View’ hosts refuse to see why black men are voting Trump



As the 2024 election draws closer, the hosts of "The View" seem to be breaking down.

“I think it will make a difference because of this division that they’re trying to cause within the black community,” Sunny Hostin told the rest of the show's panel. “I just think it’s a fallacy that black men are the problem. Black men are not the problem.”

“When you look at the stats, the New York Times just came out with a poll: 80% of African-Americans will be voting for Kamala Harris, and that includes black men,” Hostin added.

“But it was more for Biden, I think that’s the issue, right?” Joy Behar interrupted.


Whoopi Goldberg then began ranting about black men supposedly refusing to listen to black women.

“For me it has never been about black man,” she started. “It’s been about man. You know, there’s this myth out there that black men can’t handle being spoken to and told what to do by black women. Black men come from our bodies. So black men have black mothers. So they’re used to having these conversations with women.”

“The matriarchy is strong with the black community,” she added.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” can sense their panic.

“This is the perfect ending of identity politics, isn’t it? That they now have to figure out a way to rationalize that for some reason, black men who make decisions on their own, just like white men and Asian men, might have been more into Joe Biden than they are Kamala Harris,” Rubin tells Sage Steele.

“Well, again, what a concept. Black men, black women, are not monolithic. Like, we actually have separate brains and can see things for ourselves and think differently,” Steele agrees.

Kamala’s desperate for the black vote — but she might be LOSING it



Kamala Harris’ left-wing propaganda tools, like being labeled a “brat” to secure votes in the 2024 presidential election, might be reflecting well in the polls — but it may not be working as well as we’re all being told.

Specifically regarding the black vote.

In a recent New York Times/Siena poll, it shows Kamala losing five points among black voters to Trump.

And this was reflected perfectly in a recent MSNBC segment.

“How many of you know a black man who has expressed to you that they’re committed to voting for Donald Trump?” an MSNBC reporter asked a panel of black, male voters.

All four of the men on the panel raised their hands.

“For the brothers who have told you that, or said that to you, has the emergence of Kamala Harris changed that for those brothers?” he asked before all four men shook their heads and said no.

Keith Malinak and Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” are thoroughly entertained.

“It seems like things didn’t go as planned,” Gray comments.

“He had two questions there, and both of them backfired brilliantly,” Malinak laughs.

While Harris might not be doing as well with black voters as she planned, that’s not stopping her from trying extremely hard to get them back — which she made clear when she held a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, where Megan Thee Stallion twerked on stage.

“Kamala spoke after, and people were leaving,” Malinak explains, adding, “If you’re the Kamala people, you put Kamala out there first. ‘You stick around for that speech, then we’ll give you the free concert.’”

Woman who went viral for hugging Trump at Chick-fil-A explains why many young black voters support him: 'He's honest'



The woman who recently went viral for hugging former President Donald Trump at a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta, Georgia, has now spoken out about why she and many other young black voters support him.

At a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Atlanta earlier this week, Michaelah Montgomery, the founder of Conserve the Culture who also appears to be well connected to historically black colleges and universities in the area, got to speak with the former president for a brief moment that then extended into a friendly hug. "Tell my momma I made it," Montgomery exclaimed afterward, grinning from ear to ear.

— (@)

It turns out that Montgomery was not simply excited to spend a few minutes with a former occupant of the White House. On Friday, she appeared with Lawrence Jones on a segment of "Fox & Friends" on the Fox News Channel to explain Trump's appeal.

It appears that Montgomery and others have tired of politicians pandering to their community during campaign season and then ignoring them once in office. "This is the sentiment I get a lot coming from the young people themselves is that they feel like he's honest," Montgomery explained about Trump. "While we might not agree with how he says things ... we don't feel like this is a snake in the grass, waiting for his chance to bite us."

Montgomery also called Trump "relatable" and indicated he actually listens to the concerns of everyday Americans. "This is somebody who's talking to them and not just saying what they want to hear," she claimed.

When Jones pressed her for some specific reasons why she supports Trump over Democrat Joe Biden, Montgomery brought up the First Step Act, which addressed problems with federal prisons, as well as the funding Trump gave to HBCUs.

Montgomery, who mentioned her "students" during the interview, indicating she is a teacher, also took aim at those in the media who suggested the crowd of young black people showed up at Chick-fil-A that day only because Trump "bought chicken sandwiches and milkshakes."

"To think that these students who attend these illustrious institutions aren't smart enough to make their own decisions ... is the most disturbing part of it all," Montgomery said.

Jones, who is also black, agreed, calling the implication "insulting."

At the close of the interview, Montgomery also noted that Biden has done little to help the black community, especially during his time in the U.S. Senate. "He locked up a lot of people who look like me," she said. "They're still sitting in jail, waiting for ... justice and an appeal of some sort."

"This is somebody who passed legislation with the sole intent of oppressing a certain community," she claimed.

"And we're going to act like that didn't happen?"

The entire "Fox & Friends" segment with Jones and Montgomery can be seen below:

MSNBC goes to barbershop, learns from black voters why they are considering Trump: 'With Trump, we had money'



A group of black voters told MSNBC last week why they are considering voting for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

Reporting from Charleston, South Carolina, MSNBC correspondent Trymaine Lee spoke with black voters in a barbershop and discussed the "appeal" Trump has over President Joe Biden with black men specifically.

They explained:

  • Thomas Murray: "I just think that Donald Trump, in spite of all the craziness he may have in his head, reading some of the things that he talks about with business, I can kind of agree with as far as business-wise because I'm trying to grow my business. As far as Biden, I haven't seen Biden really care about business like that. And my concern is having my business, so that I can build generational wealth, so my kids can see and have something to take upon when I'm not here."
  • Kinard Givens: "A lot of my friends we've only voted once, and Trump is kind of all we know — Trump and Biden. And they’re like, ‘Well, we were broke with Biden. We weren’t with Trump.' And that’s kind of the only thing that I’m hearing over and over again is that 'with Trump, we had money.'"
  • Juston Brown: "A lot of people admire the persona and they want to be him. They want to enjoy the perks that he has. He seems to always be able to circumvent the rules."
  • Anthony Freeman: "Donald Trump has a reputation of being the money man."


Lee told MSNBC host Katy Tur that he discovered on his trip to South Carolina that black men fall into "three buckets" regarding the upcoming election.

"Those who are planning on voting for Joe Biden again even though they're not excited," he explained, "those who are considering voting for Donald Trump, and those who will sit out altogether and take some sort of off ramp out of the process."

Trump isn't going to win a majority of the vote from black voters in 2024 because no Republican ever has.

But it's clear that black Americans are tired of the Democratic Party never delivering on its promises while assuming black voters are a monolith who will remain loyal to the Democratic Party no matter what. Look no farther than a USA Today/Suffolk University poll, which last month found that Biden commands support from just 63% of black voters.

That's a serious decline from the 92% that Biden won four years ago.

Top House Democrat says he will 'pray' for black Trump supporters, claims only way Biden loses is 'voter suppression'



House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said he would "pray" for any black voters who support President Donald Trump for re-election and also claimed that the only way Trump could beat Democratic candidate Joe Biden is "for voter suppression to be successful."

In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Clyburn said the election is "close" and that "I suspect in 48 hours we'll find out how successful these suppression tactics have been."

"The only way, in my opinion, for Joe Biden not to be successful on Tuesday is for voter suppression to be successful. They have done a tremendous job of undercutting the postal service," Clyburn said, referring to accusations of USPS "sabotage" made by Democrats against the Trump administration.

"I have had complaints all day today, professional football players from my home state cannot vote because their ballots have not been delivered to them," Clyburn said. "They can't come home to vote because they are in solitary lock down because of COVID-19, they have not been allowed to come home to vote."

"So I already know some Biden voters here in South Carolina are not going to be allowed to vote simply because the postal service has been undercut by the Postmaster General," he continued.

Fox News anchor Bret Baier asked Clyburn about a recent Fox News poll that found 14% of black voters nationally supporting Trump for re-election. Clyburn expressed skepticism at the accuracy of that poll.

"I don't know where those polls come from," Clyburn said, adding, "I can tell you what, and I feel this sincerely ... I'm the father of three black women. I am the son of a black woman. If any black man can go in a polling place and cast a vote for a man who referred to a black woman as a dog on national television, I'm going to have to pray for them. I will have to pray for them. I don't know of any man [who] can abide that kind of disrespect and insult."

According to Fox News, Clyburn appeared to be referring to a 2018 tweet from President Donald Trump in which the president called former White House aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman a "crazed, crying lowlife" and a "dog" over the publication of her tell-all book about her time in the White House.

Following up, Baier told Clyburn he was echoing controversial comments made by Joe Biden on a radio show, during which Biden said black voters who don't support him "ain't black."

"What I said was, any man that calls one of my three daughters a dog, I would never vote for them, and I don't understand any black man that would vote for anybody that refers to a black woman [like that]," Clyburn replied. "All of us that I know are sons of black women. I don't stand for that kind of insult for my mothers, my sisters, or my children."

Maxine Waters on conservative black voters: 'I will never, ever forgive them' for Trump vote



Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) blasted conservative black voters during a recent interview with SiriusXM host Joe Madison, saying that she'd "never, ever forgive them" for voting for President Donald Trump.

What are the details?

Waters, who appeared on "The Joe Madison Show" to discuss the forthcoming presidential election, said that she would never forgive young black Trump voters if they cast a ballot for the incumbent.

In her clearly biased remarks, Waters, 82, said that she could not fathom how black Americans could vote for the president and shredded "black young men who think somehow they can align themselves with Trump."

"It just hurts me so bad to see blacks talking about supporting Trump," she admitted. "I don't know why they would be doing it. I don't know what's on their minds."

Waters asserted that if Trump is indeed elected to a second term, the country will crumble into a state of permanent disrepair.

"The divisiveness that this deplorable human being has caused, the confrontation, the dog-whistling to the right wing, the white supremacists, the KKK, and they are coming alive," she continued. "They are emboldened because they've got a leader."

The Democratic congresswoman said that the president is nothing more than a racist who has no "appreciation for black people" and "black women in particular."

"He has no respect for us," she added. "He is not doing anything for us. For those black young men who think somehow they can align themselves with Trump, not only are they terribly mistaken, any of them showing their face, I will never, ever forgive them for undermining the possibility to help their own people and their own communities."

Calling a black vote for the president "unconscionable," Waters said that Trump will never, ever listen to black voices.

"Black men who don't understand if they're not listening to you, if they're not listening to our voices, they have a price to pay," she insisted. "The years to come, if they help put Trump over, and help him get elected, they will go down in history as having done the most despicable thing to their families, and to their communities, and to their mothers and their grandmothers. ... They will shamefully be accused of having attributed to the lack of equality for life for the people they claim to love so much."

Rasmussen poll says 46% of black voters approve of President Trump



A daily tracking poll of President Donald Trump's job approval released Friday showed an eye-popping surge in approval for Trump among black voters.

According to Rasmussen Reports, Trump's approval among black likely voters surged this week from 25% on Monday to 46% by the end of the week on Friday.

Morning Reader Data Points: National Daily Black Likely Voter Job Approval For @POTUS - October 19-23, 2020Mon… https://t.co/A44NqX95DE
— Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen Reports)1603453552.0

Rasmussen's daily tracking poll on Friday found that 51% of likely U.S. voters approve of President Trump's job performance while 48% disapprove.

To say that the Rasmussen poll stands in contrast to other polling on President Trump's job performance is a gross understatement.

According to the Real Clear Politics average of polls, Trump's job performance is an average 9.5 points underwater, 44.4% approve to 53.9% disapprove. Recent polls on Trump's approval other than Rasmussen have Trump at minus 9 points (Economist/YouGov), minus 16 points (Reuters/Ipsos), minus 14 points (Quinnipiac), and minus 12 points (Politico/Morning Consult).

It is highly unlikely that Trump's approval among black likely voters managed to increase 20 points in just five days, especially when no other polls show a similar trend.

But that is not to say Trump is definitively not performing better-than-expected among black voters.

The Trump campaign has made outreach to black voters a top priority headed into the U.S. election. President Trump often boasts that he's been the best president for black Americans in U.S. history, with the possible exemption of President Abraham Lincoln, who issued the Emancipation Proclamation ending slavery in the Confederate states and fought the Civil War. But aside from his rhetorical exaggerations, he has put forward serious policies specifically designed to reach out to and meet the wants of black Americans.

Last month, Trump gave a speech introducing the "Platinum Plan," a sweeping set of policy proposals calling for a $500 billion investment in black communities to create 3 million new jobs for black Americans. His plan aims to give black Americans greater access to capital for business development, expand school choice and education opportunities, and expand criminal justice reform among other policies.

At Thursday night's final presidential debate, Trump touted his record on criminal justice reform, funding historically black colleges, and creating economic opportunity zones. He accused Democratic nominee Joe Biden of being in government for 47 years and failing to achieve anything for the black community. Trump attacked Biden for sponsoring a crime bill in the 1990s that led to an increase of incarcerations of black Americans, questioning why Biden, if he now opposes the crime bill, didn't act on it when he occupied the White House with President Obama and had a Democratic-controlled Congress.

The messaging is clearly targeted at peeling away black support for Biden.

By no means does polling data indicate that these overtures to black Americans will help Trump win the black vote on Election Day. But one study reported by FiveThirtyEight did show that compared to 2016, Trump's support among young black voters (18 to 44) improved by 10 points.

Also, a study of black swing voters found that younger black voters don't want to be taken for granted by the Democratic Party and tend to have a more negative view of Democrats, and a more positive view of Republicans, than their older peers. Young black men, while they overwhelmingly say Trump is a racist, incompetent, and disagree with his policies, also admire how he "shows strength and defies the establishment."

Ultimately, the only poll that matters is the one on Election Day, when the American people will decide if Trump deserves four more years in office. Don't bet on 46% of black voters to swing for Trump.

But don't be surprised if Trump's support surprises.

LeBron James implies black votes have been voided by 'recounts': 'Black people ... don’t believe that their vote matters'



Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James said black people don't believe their votes count and that he's seen black votes invalidated by "recounts," according to USA Today.

James, who has been vocal on social justice issues and helped start an organization to combat voter suppression, made the comments during the NBA playoffs in Orlando, Florida. He said he didn't consider voting to be important when he became eligible at age 18 — not just because he was distracted with basketball, but because he didn't think his vote mattered.

"Black people in the community don't believe that their vote matters," James said. "We grow up and don't think that our vote actually matters. It doesn't. We've seen recounts before. We've seen our voices be muted our whole lives."

James did not provide detailed evidence for his assertion.

As a politically active star athlete, James has used his influence and resources to push several voting initiatives leading up to the 2020 election. His organization, More Than a Vote, has raised money to pay off court fees for convicted felons so they can regain the right to vote and has helped push an effort to make NBA arenas into voting sites.

"A lot of people, including when you get to the NBA, still have those same things that haunted you when you were younger," James said of NBA players' perceptions of voting and political activism, according to USA Today. "My goal is to change that and to educate not only my peers, but their communities as well to let them know that our voice is being heard. Our vote is being counted."

James has been particularly active on social justice matters in the wake of killings of black Americans in recent months, having made a some of strident statements about racism in America.

After Ahmaud Arbery was killed by citizens in Georgia after being suspected of burglary, James stated that black people are "literally hunted every day."

"We're literally hunted EVERYDAY/EVERYTIME we step foot outside the comfort of our homes! Can't even go for a damn jog man! Like WTF man are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?" James wrote on Twitter.

After Jacob Blake was shot by Kenosha police in Wisconsin last month, James said guns in America are an issue because they cause black people to feel hunted.

"I think firearms are a huge issue in America," James said. "They're not just used for hunting. For Black people right now, we think you're hunting us."
