All The Racist Nonsense Spewing From Black MAGA Leaders

All The Racist Nonsense Spewing From Black MAGA Leaders

Yahoo21-03-2025

Black MAGA. Many say those two words have no business being next to each other. But despite the constant criticism that Black MAGA leaders face, folks like Candace Owens and Mark Robinson continue to make their political party proud... so they say.
On the flip side, others like journalist Don Lemon, argue there's no way in hell any person can be both Black and 'rational MAGA.' The reason why? Well, he says a large part of the MAGA movement is soaking in racist ideals. From continuous attacks on immigrants to President Donald Trump's anti-DEI agenda and verbal attacks on former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris, it's clear there's some discrepancies between Black MAGA supporters and the agenda they choose to follow.
So now, The Root is looking at all of the colorful and flat out racist statements previously made by Black MAGA politicians...
Former N.C. Lieutenant Gov. Mark Robinson is no stranger to controversy, as the MAGA-backed politician is notorious for his divisive and borderline offensive political rhetoric. In 2012, Robinson said he'd 'take Hitler over any of the sh*t that's in Washington right now!' about former President Barack Obama.
Over the years, former NFL player Herschel Walker has expressed his love for the president, but what's more interesting is his commitment to separating himself from his race. Walker previously said the country is fully past racism. 'You're not a racist unless you're 185 years old in today's world,' Walker said in October at the Memory Lane Classic Car Museum, according to NBC News.
Conservative pundit Candace Owens has created her brand by saying the most outrageous and offensive things imaginable. Last year, Owens attacked Ga. District Attorney Fani Willis, calling her a 'ghetto superstar.' Additionally, Owens said 'Love and Hip Hop' should give her and her special prosecutor Wade a call before mocking Willis' use of ebonics.
The surgeon and former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development knows how to stir up trouble while also keeping his nose clean. But sometimes, endorsing foolish is worse than spewing it. In 2020, he defended accusations claiming Trump was racist. 'President Trump does not dabble in identity politics. He wants everyone to succeed and believes in the adage, 'a rising tide lifts all boats,'' Carson said. 'Many on the other side love to incite division by claiming that President Trump is a racist. They could not be more wrong.'
Remember when MAGA began spewing that nonsense that former Vice President Kamala Harris 'turned Black?' Well, Fla. Rep. Byron Donalds was one of the many MAGA supporters who perpetuated the notion. 'This is really a phony controversy,' Donalds said. 'I don't really care, most people don't, but if we're going to be accurate, when Kamala Harris went into the United States Senate, it was AP that said she was the Indian-American United States senator. It was actually played up a lot,' citing the Associated Press.
If you have no clue who this guy is, we don't blame you. The radio host previously launched a bid for president but ended his campaign in 2023. Larry Elder is no stranger to controversy, however. He previously said 'Blacks exaggerate the significance of racism' and 'women exaggerate the problem of sexism.'
Of course, Owens would make another appearance on this list... During the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, Owens said BLM was a 'terrorist' organization.
After losing his race for Kentucky Governor, former Attorney General Daniel Cameron pivoted to attacking 'woke,' just as many of his MAGA colleagues do. 'We will shine a bright light on those whose ideological agendas seek to dismantle American freedom and prosperity,' Cameron said in a news release. 'We will stop investment management firms, elected officials and corporate interests from using other people's money to advance their radical political agendas.'
The former sports columnist and show host knows exactly how to offend Black folks. Back in 2017, he said NBA legend LeBron James was too rich to be a victim of racism. 'LeBron James whether he likes it or not or whether people close to him are telling him or not, he has removed himself from the damages and ravages of real racism,' Whitlock said.
Of the many racially motivated comments made by Robinson, perhaps the most shocking came after CNN exposed him for allegedly having a secret account on a pornography website. According to CNN, Robinson called himself a 'black NAZI' on the porn site... among other things.
Surprise, surprise... she's back! It's clear the MAGA supporter will stoop low t0 get her point across. After the murder of George Floyd in 2020, Owens became an avid critic of the Black father. She even blamed him for his own killing. Since her insensitive comments, Floyd's family expressed plans to sue in response.
The U.S. Supreme Court justice has caught flak over his conservative views, including suggesting the court reconsider past rulings on same sex marriage. But one of the most notable statements of his career came in the 1980s when he criticized his own sister for benefitting from welfare. 'She gets mad when the mailman is late with her welfare check,' Thomas said. 'What's worse is that now her kids feel entitled to the check, too. They have no motivation for doing better or getting out of that situation.'

Van Hollen on Abrego Garcia's return to US: ‘A victory for the Constitution'

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) celebrated the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported and detained in El Salvador's CECOT prison, calling it 'a victory' for the rule of law. The Trump administration doubled down on the deportation, accusing Abrego Garcia, who illegally immigrated to the U.S. from El Salvador in 2011 but was later protected from removal to his home country, of having gang ties. His legal team has denied these allegations and urged for his return to the U.S. On Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi, after months of fighting against Abrego Garcia's return in court, announced that he was transported back to U.S. soil to face criminal charges stemming from a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee. 'This is a victory for due process. It's a victory for the Constitution. It should not have taken this long. I mean … the Trump administration dragged its feet for a very long time and ignored a 9 to 0 order from the Supreme Court,' Van Hollen said during a Friday appearance on MSNBC. 'But it's important that Abrego Garcia now come home and have his due process rights upheld in a court of law,' he added. The Maryland lawmaker visited Abrego Garcia while he was detained overseas to check on his well being and champion his release from El Salvadoran custody, which White House officials originally said would never happen. Van Hollen on Friday said that the court battle Abrego Garcia will now face should have been launched prior to his removal. 'If they're now going to take this case into the courts, as they should have, you know, from the beginning, before they just took him off the streets of Maryland and deposited him in a gulag in El Salvador, then that is — that is the due process that we've been fighting for,' he said. 'And, again, not just for his case, but for others. And — and I think that Americans understand that everybody deserves to have their rights, you know, respected. That's what the Constitution is for.' Abrego Garcia's attorney said on Friday that the criminal case is just another attempt to persecute his client. 'This shows that they were playing games with the court all along. Due process means the chance to defend yourself before you're punished, not after. This is an abuse of power, not justice,' attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg previously told The Hill in a statement. 'The government should put him on trial, yes—but in front of the same immigration judge who heard his case in 2019, which is the ordinary manner of doing things, 'to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador,' as the Supreme Court ordered.'

Republicans urge Donald Trump and Elon Musk to end their feud

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the Republican Party braces for aftershocks from President Donald Trump's spectacular clash with Elon Musk, lawmakers and conservative figures are urging détente, fearful of the potential consequences from a prolonged feud. At a minimum, the explosion of animosity between the two powerful men could complicate the path forward for Republicans' massive tax and border spending legislation that has been promoted by Trump but assailed by Musk. 'I hope it doesn't distract us from getting the job done that we need to,' said Rep. Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Washington state. "I think that it will boil over and they'll mend fences.' As of Friday afternoon, Musk was holding his fire, posting about his various companies on social media rather than torching the president. Trump departed the White House for his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, without stopping to talk to reporters who shouted questions about his battle with Musk. 'I hope that both of them come back together because when the two of them are working together, we'll get a lot more done for America than when they're at cross purposes,' Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday night. Sen. Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah, sounded almost pained on social media as Trump and Musk volleyed insults at each other, sharing a photo composite of the two men and writing, "But … I really like both of them.' 'Who else really wants @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump to reconcile?' Lee posted, later adding: 'Repost if you agree that the world is a better place with the Trump-Musk bromance fully intact.' So far, the feud between Trump and Musk is probably best described as a moving target, with plenty of opportunities for escalation or detente. One person familiar with the president's thinking said Musk wants to speak with Trump, but that the president doesn't want to do it – or at least do it on Friday. The person requested anonymity to disclose private matters. In a series of conversations with television anchors Friday morning, Trump showed no interest in burying the hatchet. Asked on ABC News about reports of a potential call between him and Musk, the president responded: 'You mean the man who has lost his mind?' Trump added in the ABC interview that he was 'not particularly' interested in talking to Musk at the moment. Still, others remained hopeful that it all would blow over. 'I grew up playing hockey and there wasn't a single day that we played hockey or basketball or football or baseball, whatever we were playing, where we didn't fight. And then we'd fight, then we'd become friends again,' Hannity said on his show Thursday night. Acknowledging that it 'got personal very quick,' Hannity nonetheless added that the rift was 'just a major policy difference.' House Speaker Mike Johnson projected confidence that the dispute would not affect prospects for the tax and border bill. 'Members are not shaken at all,' the Louisiana Republican said. 'We're going to pass this legislation on our deadline.' He added that he hopes Musk and Trump reconcile, saying 'I believe in redemption' and 'it's good for the party and the country if all that's worked out.' But he also had something of a warning for the billionaire entrepreneur. 'I'll tell you what, do not doubt and do not second-guess and don't ever challenge the president of the United States, Donald Trump,' Johnson said. "He is the leader of the party. He's the most consequential political figure of this generation and probably the modern era.' — Associated Press writers Leah Askarinam and Kevin Freking contributed to this report.
