Black lawmakers are preparing for the worst as President Barack Obama leaves office, and they’re ready to resist Donald Trump after his inauguration.

“The stakes are incredibly high, and our community is counting on us as the last line of defense between Donald Trump and the worst of what America could offer,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) told Politico.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are worried the Trump administration poses a historically ominous threat to black Americans.

“This is not the normal incoming president,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO). “We had no plan for George Bush. I think Charlie Rangel and John Conyers would tell you they didn’t even have a plan for Richard Nixon. But this is not the norm.”
