Black supporters of Donald Trump in Philadelphia shared their reasons for opposing Vice President Kamala Harris with MSNBC in a special election episode of Alex Wagner Tonight.
Wagner spoke with members of the Black Republican Club of Philadelphia in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. Members offered a myriad of reasons for supporting Trump over Harris that ultimately boiled down to her record and qualifications.
“She’s a woman of color. I’m not putting her down because of that, and I’m not putting her down because she’s a woman,” Crystal Canty told Wagner. “I’m not a feminist so I’m sorry, but at the end of the day I don’t think she has the personality, I don’t think that she has what it takes to go up against Putin and go up against these other presidents that are built for this.”
Participants pushed back when Wagner asked if Black voters were uncomfortable with Harris’s gender.
