A clearly frustrated GOP strategist and member of Black Americans for Trump Coalition lashed out at the man he helped elect on CNN on Saturday morning.
It took less than two weeks in office for Donald Trump to exasperate Melik Abdul, who complained on Saturday that the president is making life difficult for Black voters who supported his second re-election bid. During an appearance on CNN's "Table for Five," with host Abby Phillip, Abdul jumped into a conversation about the president blaming the tragic Washington D.C. plane crash on DEI policies without evidence –– but not to defend Trump.
Noting that there have been questions raised about a female pilot who was on the Black Hawk chopper that collided with the airliner, Abdul explained, "I call it the woke right, on the right, who are were literally saying that, I think the male pilot had 1000 hours, the female, this phantom female pilot had 500 hours of training time. They don't know anything about what the requirements are. They don't know how long that person had been in service."
"Donald Trump appealing to these people in his second week, when we're not talking about the economy, we're not talking about any of that," he complained. "We're talking about DEI and he [Trump] had no evidence and people are out there defending it." "I'm not going to get on television to defend it," he exclaimed "I want Donald Trump to know you are making it hard for us who are not looking for a payout or some sort of association, or the social media influence behind supporting Donald Trump or any politician."
