Civil rights activist: ‘Trump has done more for black Americans in four years than Joe Biden has done in 50’

A civil rights activist speaking at the RNC said that President Trump has done more for black Americans in four years than Joe Biden has achieved in five decades in government.

“Joe Biden had the audacity to say if you don’t vote for him, you ain’t black. Well, to that, I say, if you do vote for Biden, you don’t know history. Donald Trump is not a politician. He’s a leader. Politicians are a dime a dozen. Leaders are priceless,” civil rights activist Clarence Henderson said Wednesday. “The record funding Trump gave HBCUs is priceless too. So are the record number of jobs he created for the black community and the investment he drove into our neighborhood with tax incentives and opportunity zones. And so are the lives he restored by passing criminal justice reform — where 91% of the inmates released are black.”
