Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida told Fox News host Trey Gowdy Sunday night that he and other black conservatives are targets of Democrats and liberal media outlets because they “don’t fit the narrative.”
President Donald Trump carried 13% of the black vote in 2024, according to CNN’s exit poll, compared to 12% in 2020 and 8% in 2016. Donalds accused Democrats and corporate media outlets of trying to “vilify” black conservatives after Gowdy described having a “front-row seat” to the hostility towards Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and former Republican Rep. Mia Love of Utah, who recently announced a terminal cancer diagnosis.

“The reason why is because we don’t fit the narrative that the media has been trying to sell people in our country, that the Democrat Party is the only home for black people is simply not true, simply not the case,” Donalds told Gowdy. “As a matter of fact, black people are actually more conservative than the Democrat Party is. So when you see a Mia Love or you see a Tim Scott or you see myself and so many others come along, they have to vilify us, they have to demonize us.”
