Georgia House Rep Democrat Vernon Jones: Why I walked away from Democrats to support President Trump

My fellow Black Americans are expected to fit a certain mold and think a certain way. We've been socially conditioned to blindly support the Democratic Party, never straying from the mental plantation they've had us on for more than a half century.

The purpose of my speech was to serve as a culture shock, helping others break free of the groupthink-shackles placed on us by White liberals.

Black Americans like me are free people with free minds.

You hear that Joe Biden?

We are not a monolithic thinking group subservient to Democrats' electoral wishes.


Since taking office, President Trump continues to prioritize earning the support and trust of all Black Americans. He's championed policies that positively affected our community.

President Trump secured critical funding to Historically Black Colleges and Universities. As a proud graduate of North Carolina Central University, I know how important of a springboard HBCUs are to young black men and women working hard to achieve their own American dreams.

President Trump also delivered historic commonsense criminal justice reform. The president signed the bipartisan FIRST STEP Act, helping to reverse the mass incarceration of Black and Brown people caused, in part, by policies like the 1994 Crime Bill, which at the time had broad bipartisan support. Let's not forget who helped write that Clinton-era legislation -- Joe Biden.

For evidence that the bill contributed to mass incarceration -- despite Biden maintaining that it did not -- just take a look at how Joe Biden's new vice presidential nominee California Sen. Kamala Harris described it last year. "That 1994 crime bill -- it did contribute to mass incarceration in our country. It encouraged and was the first time that we had a federal-three strikes law.

It funded the building of more prisons in the states." Thankfully for Black Americans, President Trump continues to reverse the failed legacy of Joe Biden.

Black Americans have now recognized the don't have to support those who SELL OUT America to line their pockets, who OWN THE CORPORATIONS, PRO SPORTS, HOLLYWOOD AND THE MEDIA, just like the rest of America has.

Trump has awakened black people, he’s shown that the Dems have done nothing for them

Look at all the dem run cities and you have your answer

Trump didn’t promise them more welfare, he promised and delivered them jobs and hope to make their lives better

He sat down with them and developed a plan that they feel good about, he listened and delivers
