Sen. Raphael Warnock Urges Black Men To Consider This Trump Chapter Before Voting
HuffPost
The Georgia senator reacted to a recent poll that shows 1 in 5 Black men are supporting the former president.
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) urged Black people and particularly Black men to “consider” Donald Trump’s role in the case of the exonerated Central Park Five before voting for him in an urgent call to action on Sunday.
“Black men know, as they watch him deal with his own criminal problems and concerns, that the criminal justice system certainly doesn’t handle them the way it handles him,” the Georgia senator said in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash.
Warnock reacted to a recent poll in The New York Times that shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading Trump with the support of 78% of Black likely voters.
Bash noted that the VP’s figure is more than 10 percentage points behind how President Joe Biden is estimated to have fared with Black voters in the 2020 election, based on exit polls and postelection assessments.
“So 1 in 5 Black men are saying that they’re supporting Donald Trump. Why do you think that is?” she asked Warnock.
