I saw somebody in the comment section ask me to campaign for Donald Trump. I'll do my best.
Apparently the spontaneous show of support in the Black community was a staged photo-op by conservative activist Michaelah Montgomery and she wants her credit...
From Fox 5
"People find it so hard to believe that there are young Black people who would have loved the opportunity to meet Trump," said Michaelah Montgomery, a conservative activist and founder of Conserve the Culture, which recruits and educates college students and young alumni at Atlanta’s historically Black colleges and universities.
Montgomery, a former Georgia Republican Party staffer who regularly coordinates events for HBCU students open to conservative ideas to meet with politicians and activists, said she was notified earlier in the week that Trump would visit Atlanta’s Vine City neighborhood during his trip to host a high-dollar fundraiser in the city. She notified a private group chat of students she uses to coordinate events and job opportunities about the president’s visit. She received immediate interest in appearing alongside him from around a dozen students.
"Everybody got together at around 9:30 in the morning and walked on over to the Chick-fil-A, and then we sat there and waited until the president showed up," said Montgomery, who can be seen embracing the former president in multiple viral videos. "It’s really disheartening to see that the media makes it seem like we just stumbled into a Chick-fil-A, and he bought us milkshakes."
Meanwhile one of Donald Trump's staunches supporters, Angela Stanton, who alienated many in her community by fiercely campaigning for Trump for many years, for free, and runs "Auntie Angie's House," a non-profit support center for expectant mothers in Vine City, just a few blocks over from the Chick-Fil-A, was rightfully insulted after failing to secure a visit or position in the Trump campaign and being faced with the ultimatum of keeping "Auntie Angie's" doors open or accepting a paid consulting position with Bobby Kennedy's campaign. Angela chose the latter.
