(FamilyConservationPAC.com) – Former President Barack Obama insisted that black conservative males oppose Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign because of sexism.
In response, these men have criticized Obama for not fairly representing the black community and for attempting to intimidate them into voting for Democrats.
Obama made several contentious statements on Thursday at a speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, alleging that black male voters did not support Harris for president.
Obama complained to a gathering of black men that Harris was not receiving the same amount of support as he did during his 2008 presidential campaign, saying that it “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers”:
The former president claims that because Harris “grew up like you, knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and pain and joy that comes from those experiences,” it is “clear” for black men to support her.
Obama’s divisive address, delivered to a small group of voters during an unexpected visit to a local Harris campaign office, went on to suggest that supporting Trump is “not acceptable.”
His comments gained traction on social media, but not in a good way.
According to a new poll by the New York Times, black support for Harris is lower than for any Democratic nominee in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
According to research released on Saturday, just 78% of black voters are backing Harris this election season, compared to 91% supporting Biden in 2020 and 92% supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Although just 15% of black voters declared they would support Trump in the next election, that represents a significant increase over the corresponding 7% and 9% in the previous two elections.
Furthermore, the majority of black voters who support Trump are men.
This is not the first time Black voters have been shamed for not voting in alliance with the Democratic Party.
