Raphael Warnock: ‘Black Men Will Not Vote for Trump in Any Significant Number’

‘And black men know that, 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’

EXCERPT:

WARNOCK: "Black men are not going to vote for Donald Trump in any significant numbers. There will be some. We're not a monolith. But as black folk in general and black men in particular consider who Donald Trump is, as they consider the fact that this is the man who literally took out a full-page ad in The New York Times saying that these young teenagers back in the 1980s, who were accused of a horrific crime, should receive the death penalty, and then when it was proven that the Exonerated 5, the Central Park 5, were actually innocent, Donald Trump has shown no deal of concern about what they went through, no deal — no bit of contrition about it. He's doubled down on his position. This is who he is. And black men know that, 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. On the other hand, you have got Kamala Harris, who, in her work as a prosecutor, found ways to give people a path towards a better life, who has spent her whole life as a lawyer, as a senator, and now as vice president centering the concerns of ordinary people. Again, we're not a monolith, but this idea that large numbers of black men are going to vote for Donald Trump, it's not going to happen."
