Rep. Maxine Waters told SiriusXM’s ‘The Joe Madison Show’ Friday that she would never forgive young black voters that consider voting for President Donald Trump.

Does she even realize that young black voters aren’t asking for her forgiveness or her permission. The nerve of Democratic politicians to think that they somehow own particular groups of people in America. It doesn’t matter that Waters, a California Democrat, is Black because what she is saying is insulting.

It’s not about the color of your skin, or how much or little money you make, it’s about your own individuality and right to choose what’s best for you. I don’t think young Black voters are tossing and turning at night over what Waters thinks is best for them or the choices that they make.

It’s sad that the Democratic Party can’t see the hypocrisy in their own actions. The way many Democratic leaders speak about the Black community, or for that matter any minority community, is plain wrong and un-American.

Let’s look at what Waters said. She said it was “shameful” that young black voters might consider casting a ballot for Trump.”

She said she was angry about “black young men who think somehow they can align themselves with Trump.”

But more and more young Black men are aligning themselves with Trump. Just look at the latest Rasmussen Reports that estimates roughly one-third of black voters will vote for Trump in the election.

“It just hurts me so bad to see blacks talking about supporting Trump. I don’t know why they would be doing it. I don’t know why it is on their minds,” she added.

What hurts Waters, and Democrats like her the most, is the fact that some of America’s youth and the Black community in general is awakening to the truth, as well as the failed policies of the Democratic Party .

How can she with a straight face call Trump “a racist.”

She said “he does not have any appreciation for black people and black women in particular.He has no respect for us. He is not doing anything for us. For those black young men who think somehow they can align themselves with Trump, not only are they terrible mistaken, any of them showing their face, I will never, ever forgive them for undermining the possibility to help their own people and their own communities.”

It’s all lies. Trump’s economic policies prior to COVID-19 outbreak led to the lowest unemployment rate for Black Americans, Latinos and other minorities in U.S. history. He is also the first President to keep his promises to the Black community by reversing the dangerous policies established in the U.S. criminal justice system that led to massive incarceration of young Black me.

Trump passed the First Step Act and his White House has been open to all people regardless of their economic, cultural or political status. It’s the reason so many Black rap artists, businessmen and religious leaders have shifted from the Democratic Party to the Trump administration.

RFK Jr. announces lifelong Democrat, advocate of left-leaning causes, CA native as running mate

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced Tuesday that attorney and tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan will be his vice presidential running mate in the upcoming election. The Independent candidate announced his choice for the 38-year-old Oakland, California native by praising her insight into “how Big Tech uses AI to manipulate the public,” her athletic ability, and willingness to be a “partner” in a number of policy areas, including on securing the border.

Fox News writes that Shanahan is a philanthropist with a long history of donating to Democrat and left-leaning causes, including supporting President Biden in his 2020 election bid before switching to Kennedy when he launched his own run for the Democrat nomination last year.

She is the founder and president of Bia-Echo Foundation, a private firm that describes its mission as focused on “new frontiers in reproductive longevity & equality, criminal justice reform and a healthy & livable planet.”

Fox News reports Shanahan initially dropped her support for Kennedy after he decided to run as an independent, but later got behind him again by giving $4 million to the super PAC that boosted his candidacy with a John F. Kennedy-themed campaign ad that ran during the Super Bowl in February.

Shanahan also previously donated to Democrat presidential candidates Marianne Williamson and Pete Buttigieg during the 2020 presidential race, and threw more than $150,000 behind progressive Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon’s 2020 election bid.

Shanahan, a life-long Democrat, told the crowd that she was leaving the party.

“The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of compassion. It is supposed to be the party of free speech, and most importantly, the party of the middle class and the American dream,” Shanahan said.

“While I know many Democrats still abide by those values…I do believe they’ve lost their way in their leadership,” she continued.

And she urged “disillusioned” Democrats and Republicans to support Kennedy’s independent White House bid.
