Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) says she does not understand why Black Americans would vote for President Donald Trump, but those who do are helping bring about the “most despicable thing.”
“It just hurts me so bad to see Blacks talking about supporting Trump,” Waters said in an interview with Joe Madison on SiriusXM on Friday.
She added, “I don’t know why they would be doing it, I don’t know what’s on their minds, but if we don’t turn out this vote and turn it out huge, this man could end up winning again.”
Waters charged that Trump is racist and has no “appreciation” or respect for Black Americans and is “not doing anything for us.”

She added:
“And for those Black young men who think somehow they can align themselves with Trump, not only are they terribly mistaken, any of them showing their face, I will never, ever forgive them. For undermining their responsibility to help their own people, and their own community. It is absolutely unconscionable, it is shameful.”
Finally, she said Black voters who cast their ballot for Trump will have a “price to pay for years to come if they help put Trump over and help get him elected.”
“They will go down in history as having done the most despicable thing to their families and to their communities and to their mothers and their grandmothers,” she added.
