Larry Elder accuses Democrats of “playing the race card,” in exclusive interview with Newsmax.
Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder stated that Democrats are using the race card because Black individuals are supporting former President Donald Trump.
“We have a two-tiered system of justice here. It is so incredibly unfair. And the goal, of course, was to keep Donald Trump off the campaign trail and to refer to him as a convicted felon, as you well know,” Elder mentioned during an interview on Newsmax’s “Newsline.”
“Within three days of this verdict, Donald Trump raked in $200 million. And the polls show at best, it’s a wash. At worst, it appears that some independents are angry about the two-tiered system of justice; and they’re more likely, rather than less likely, to vote for Donald Trump.”
Last week, Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime when a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 election.
Trump, 77, has denied any wrongdoing, and his attorney stated that they would appeal as quickly as possible.
Elder noted that support for Trump has surged since then, prompting Democrats to “pull out the race card” and make accusations against figures like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He mentioned instances where individuals like Rep. Byron Donalds and rapper 50 Cent have faced backlash for expressing support for Trump.
