Kentucky Republican Daniel Cameron hit back at “liberals” after a Democratic talk radio host told him to stop eating “Coon Flakes.”
Cameron is running to be Kentucky’s next attorney general. Dawn Elliott, a local political talk radio host and attorney, slammed Cameron for his support for President Trump and told the black Republican to “stop eating the ‘Coon Flakes’ the White House is serving.”
“I’m a proud lifelong Republican, part of a diverse Kentucky Republican Party ticket, and yes I support President Donald Trump,” Cameron said on Thursday. “I have unfortunately been called much worse as a black Republican and it is enough.”
“I support life, secure borders, and am proud of my faith. It is time for liberals to stop telling black Americans what we are allowed to believe and what party we are allowed to support,” Cameron said.
Elliott, who is also black, made her comments in an interview with the Louisville Courier Journal. She has continued to stand by her comments.
“To sit there and be so proud of someone who is an open racist is shameful,” Elliott said. “Why would anyone of color want to side with someone who is trying to destroy us?”
