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.
