Black MAGA Congressmen Byron Donalds and Wesley Hunt hosted a “cigars and cognac” event for Black men at a bar in Philly on Tuesday, inviting a Philadelphia Inquirer reporter who got Donalds on the record saying some, uh, pretty fucked up shit about the pre-Civil Rights era.
“You see, during Jim Crow, the Black family was together. During Jim Crow, more Black people were not just conservative – Black people have always been conservative-minded – but more Black people voted conservatively. And then [the former US Department of Health, Education and Welfare], Lyndon Johnson – you go down that road, and now we are where we are,” said Donalds.
The bar of course is located in one of Philly’s whitest, most conservative neighborhoods, as is the new “outreach office” whose opening Hunt and Donalds had attended earlier in the day. “The crowd at the office opening in a tight Holmesburg rowhouse, formerly an optometrist’s office, was diverse, but the census tract is 65 percent white, and the ward voted for Trump in 2020,” the Inquirer wrote.
Further down they mentioned that the sign-in sheet for the cognac bar event, which did draw a mostly Black crowd, showed about half of the signers had out-of-town addresses.
