A vice presidential contender for former President Donald Trump’s 2024 ticket is facing backlash over his comments suggesting that life was better for Black Americans under Jim Crow.
Representative Byron Donalds is being criticized over comments he made Tuesday at a Trump campaign in Philadelphia aimed at engaging Black voters.
The Jim Crow era involved segregation laws that were enforced in schools, employment, housing, transportation and public facilities and institutionalized racial discrimination across the nation, particularly in the South.
“Dumb MAGA jacka-- Byron Donalds is trying to imply that life was better for black people under Jim Crow,” a third person posted.
Trump was found guilty last week by a Manhattan jury on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in relation to hush money paid to former adult film star Stormy Daniels.
On Wednesday, the Democratic National Committee’s rapid response director, Alex Floyd, took aim at Donalds’ comments, arguing that it showed how the Trump campaign viewed Black voters as a whole.
