Ainsley, with less than one hundred days Ainsley with less than one hundred days to go until the presidential election, the race is on to security african american vote. Next guest Biden thinks this vote is not up for grabs when he says comments like that, I will tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you are for me or Trump, then you aint, black Ainsley, Shae Hawkins is the president of the opportunity, funds Association and he writes in a Fox news. Op Ed quote Biden and items falsely claim they are entitled to the black vote, ignoring trumps pro black policies. Shae joins us now good morning to you Shae good Morning, Ainsley Ainsley, president of opportunity, funds Association and you are running for state representative in the state of Ohio, and you worked for TIM Scott, who is a senator from South Carolina, helped him on tax reform, and he thanks you for doing a great job there. You wrote this op Ed telephone me why you wrote it on Foxnews dot com. It was out yesterday. I wrote this op Ed, because
the Democratic Party, Joe Biden as the current leader, have long taken the black vote for granted and they havent had anything close to a sub stanive black policy agenda. That would really improve black folks lives for decades, and what this presents is a frustrating situation for black voters, but it also presents a special opportunity. I think, for this president, based on what he has accomplished in his first four years, to really increase the share of the Republican Partys share of the black vote. I think we could double it. Ainsley. Really, you said Democrats assume black people are too stupid to think for ourselves and judge candidates on their merits. He lab, where rate on that. Absolutely so, when you look at what is offered from the Democratic Party,
whenever black folks ask the question, what are we getting for giving literally ninety percent of our vote? That Democrats? If you present that question to a white, liberal or a white Democrat, the response is going to be well. The republican Party is prejudiced and they are going to give that response. Whether the president is Donald Trump and also give that response had it been a president, cruise or Cruz or Ruby Casey here in Ohio, simply because John Kasich didnt have any black folks in his initial cabinet Democrats here called him racist for four straight years, but black folks lives improved under Kasich, so they werent buying it. When Kasich ran for re election, he got one out two of black Mayle male votes and one out of four black female votes for over
twenty five percent of the black vote at overall, because their vote did improve. I think Donald Trump could produce that same kind of increase. If Republicans just get just twenty percent of the black vote, we would never lose another national election Ainsley. I thought this was interesting. Pugh research center, twenty five percent of the black voters identify as conserving right, Ainsley, Shae Hawkins. Thank you.
