Black male voters are up in arms after former President Barack Obama brazenly scolded members of the demographic for not supporting Kamala Harris.
Stumping for Harris in Pittsburgh Thursday, Obama urged a group of young black males to vote along racial lines, claiming Kamala “grew up like you.”
In a response Friday, Rep. Vernon Jones (R-Ga.) pushed back against Obama for having the audacity to tell voters who to vote for.
Obama “berated black men, he rebuked black men, even scolded black men. Primarily because
we will not fall in line and vote for Madam ‘Lock up a brother,'” Jones described.
“As if black men are too stupid that we can’t vote our self interest, what’s best for us, our pocket book, our families. As if we’ve been immune to the past three and a half years, as if we don’t know that gas prices have been higher under Kamala Harris, food prices higher under Kamala Harris, interest rates on home mortgages higher under Kamala Harris, and runaway borders under Kamala Harris.”
.@BarackObama should be ashamed for berating, rebuking and scolding Black men, because they won’t vote for Madam Lock Up A Brother…@KamalaHarris. As if we are too stupid to vote our interest and what best for ourselves and our families.

“But you know what? That’s what the liberal white Democrat Party did. They dispatched Barack Obama out there to whip black men back on the plantation to vote Democrat.”
“And you know, President Obama, he meant a lot to black people, but he didn’t do anything for black people. And for him to want to come down from his mansion in Martha’s Vineyard and tell black men how we should vote. Really?” Jones continued.
“You don’t even live in Chicago anymore,” he added. “You left your black community Barack Obama, and you want to tell us how to vote? We’re not having it, and we’re not voting for Kamala Harris.”

“Telling another black man to vote for someone cause they know what being black is… is a slap in the face to black ppl,” said former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown, adding, “I came out the mud… homeless for 6 months… 6th round pick to one of greatest ever… I’m still voting Trump cause that’s the best for everyone not no agenda.”
A video shot by a convenience store worker interviewing black male customers showed they’re primarily opposed to Kamala flooding their city with illegal aliens.

Looks like the Democrats’ old racial playbook is blowing up in their faces!
