Lawrence Jones, one of the co-hosts of “Fox & Friends,” took an opportunity on Monday morning to tear President Joe Biden a new one for “talking like he’s a black man” while he was giving a commencement speech. Ole crazy Uncle Joe attempting to do a little cultural appropriation to entice young black Americans into casting a ballot for him in November, eh? I highly doubt that strategy is going to produce the results he’s hoping for. In fact, it might just drive the audience right into the arms of former President Donald Trump.
According to The Daily Caller’s latest report:
Biden attempted to appeal to black voters Sunday during a commencement speech at Morehouse Colleges by saying that black men in the U.S. are being “killed in the street.” The president told graduates at the historically black college’s ceremony that black men “have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot” and that the U.S. “doesn’t love” black men “back in equal measure.”
Jones was appalled by Biden’s remarks and criticized the president for missing out on a “moment to unify” and instead telling black graduates that they “can’t even make it.”
“So what do y’all think about that?” Jones went on to ask his fellow Fox News co-hosts. “I mean, you got Joe Biden, a moment to unify, to give an inspirational message, and he said we can’t even make it.”
“Fox and Friends” co-host Steve Doocy said that Biden and his campaign must have been “sitting on” his commencement speech for months. He added that Biden must “motivate” black voters who are “apathetic” toward and “don’t really like” the Democratic president.
“Ainsley, I was telling you, how does he know? He’s talking like he’s a black man,” Jones then asked the others. “Um, how does he know the experience?”
“That was exactly my thought when he said that, and then that was your comment after we played this soundbite because as uh, as white individuals, we don’t know what these men at Morehouse have been through. What their stories are,” Fox News co-host Ainsley Earhardt stated in response to Jones.
Biden has lost ground with black voters, sitting at just 69% support in 2024 compared to 81% in 2020, according to an average of polls released by New York Times/Siena. Meanwhile, Trump has more than doubled his support among black voters at 22% in 2024 compared to 9% in 2020.
It seems the days of the Democratic Party automatically assuming they can count on the minority vote are coming to a close. And, ultimately, they have no one to blame but themselves and their extremely poor policies, especially when it comes to economics.
Just take a look at major cities in every state of the Union. The vast majority of these urban centers have been under Democratic leadership for decades. What, if any, improvements have been made? NONE. Just look at San Francisco. You have to constantly watch where you’re walking as you make your away down the sidewalk because if you’re not on the lookout, you could end up stepping in a huge pile of human feces. That’s sickening. And disgusting.
Minorities have been promised the world by Democrats for ages and they have failed to deliver. They, like the rest of us, are ready for something different.
