Racist Right-wing troll Byron Donalds claims it was better for Blacks during Jim Crow

Because Conservatives always have to present their Dickensian vision that their are always work houses for poor starving children

So let me be blunt, Byron Donalds is a pandering dickhead. He’s clearly playing to the Conservative base with his anti-welfare (“Oh, the lazy blacks are taking our tax dollars and spending it on STEAK”) crowd.

He’s been claiming that the “Great Society” — which provided some minor financial help to poor people all over the nation — is the thing the “broke the black family” and stuff. Because sure, giving a woman with children $350 a month is exactly what is going to drive away her man.

Jesus H. Christmas.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) came on MSNBC with Joy Reid to defend his recently revealed comments at a Black Americans for Trump gathering that "during Jim Crow, the Black family was together" and former President Lyndon Johnson and welfare programs destroyed those family values.

It didn't go well for him.

"The stuff that comes up about Jim Crow, and twisting my words saying I was being nostalgic or Jim Crow was good for Black people, that's all political spin. It's a lie," said Donalds, a close ally of former President Donald Trump and a shortlister for his vice presidential running mate. "It's gaslighting and that's truly unfortunate."

Yeah, but you were who brought up “Jim Crow” pal - it’s only natural that people take what you were saying in the context of Jim Crow!!

"Here's the challenge, Congressman," said Reid. "You started out talking about your family, talking about your mom, talking about being raised. And you on your own brought up Jim Crow. In fact, you said Jim Crow three times for emphasis. It wasn't the media or the Democrats or gaslighters who brought up Jim Crow. It was you. You brought up Jim Crow. So why did you use Jim Crow specifically as your reference? You did that, no one else did that, you did it."

Bojemoi!
