Democrat Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones took part in the first day of the Republican National Convention where he praised President Donald Trump’s efforts to support black Americans.
“As you can see, I’m a man of color,” Jones said. “And I am a lifelong Democrat, too. You may be wondering, ‘Why is a lifelong Democrat speaking at the Republican National Convention?’ That’s a fair question.”
“The Democratic Party does not want Black people to leave their mental plantation. We’ve been forced to be there for decades and generations,” Jones continued. “But I have news for Joe Biden: We are free, we are free people with free minds. I am part of a large and growing segment of the Black community who are independent thinkers.”
“We believe that Donald Trump is the President that America needs to lead us forward,” Jones added.
Jones, who was quick to knock former Vice President Joe Biden as a man of “all talk and no action,” said the leaders of the Democrat Party “went crazy” after Trump sought to “earn the black vote.”
“My parents taught me if I believed in God, worked hard, and treated every person fairly, there was no limit to what we could achieve,” Jones stated, before recognizing Trump for his work with historically black colleges (HBCUs).
