MSNBC’s Pleasure Reid on Tuesday ripped right-wing claims that Donald Trump “being an accused felon has broadened his attraction with Black voters.”
Fox Information’ Jesse Watters and others have advised Trump’s mug shot — launched after the previous president’s arrest within the Georgia election racketeering case — had “unintentionally created a bond between Donald Trump and Black People.”
Reid vehemently disagreed.
“The concept Black individuals, just because he was arrested, are going to gravitate towards him … it’s nearly so creatively racist that I’m nearly impressed that they’ve all provide you with this, and on Fox, that is their new speaking level,” she advised civil rights activist, the Rev. Al Sharpton.
“They assume Black individuals like criminals, and that’s what they consider Black people,” Reid continued.
“Effectively, it’s a part of the criminalization of Blacks,” Sharpton replied. “They see all Blacks as criminals, they usually really feel that all of us will in a knee-jerk means go together with criminals. No, we go together with people who we really feel are falsely being criminalized and tried and can’t defend themselves.”
