Gregory Cheadle, Whom Trump Once Called ‘My African American’ Will Leave GOP

‘Trump is a Rich Guy Who Is Mired in White Privilege to the Extreme’

Over three years later, Cheadle told PBS News Hour’s Yamiche Alcindor that he will leave the Republican party to run for Congress in California’s 1st District as an Independent. According to Cheadle, the GOP’s “pro-white” agenda overpowered the fiscal platforms that originally drew him to the party.

Trump played a big part in that, with Cheadle saying:

“President Trump is a rich guy who is mired in white privilege to the extreme. Republicans are too sheepish to call him out on anything and they are afraid of losing their positions and losing any power themselves.”

The last straw was Trump’s attacks on Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), in which Trump told them to “go back” to the countries from which they came. All four are Americans.

The gop's pro-white agenda before SCROTUS should have been enough to drive him away. Some people are very slow learners.

Makes one wonder exactly which "platforms" he's referring to. Was there ever a non "pro-white" fiscal platform that I missed?

Poor Trump - keeps losing his African Americans.
Might be down to his last one - Uncle Ben.
