In Trump’s response to Myeshia Johnson, many black women see a pattern
By Eugene Scott October 23 at 1:20 PM

Concerns about a Trump presidency were prevalent among black women long before he entered the White House.

In exit polls from Election Day, 76 percent of black women said they were “scared” of a Trump win. And in a Gallup poll the summer before the election, 72 percent of black women said they “strongly agreed” that they were afraid of what would happen if their preferred candidate did not win the election.

Since his win, the Trump administration has repeatedly found itself on the receiving end of criticism for comments and policies impacting women and people of color. Many black women are saying, “I told you so.”

“Black women tried to save you, America. You didn’t want to be saved,” former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer Zerlina Maxwell wrote earlier this month in Cosmopolitan.

6. Trump is a known pathological liar, why would anyone hesitate to believe Myeshia Johnson

and Rep Frederica Wilson. I stand with Rep Wilson and Myeshia Johnson.

8. Yes anyone who doesn't accept that Trump is a stone cold liar by now

has a damn agenda like fox 'news' and hate radio.

7. People should have listened

And gotten out to vote!

10. Yes but some candidates were not pure enough apparently

So many stayed home and secretly cheered on Fuhrer Trump and his party while they 'brought the revolution'.

11. Have they started organizing

the revolution yet? I guess they think it will spontaneously occur as soon as people realize the Orange Menace is really really bad. When the billionaires and the corporations really put the screws to us, we'll all go out in the streets and fight!
