"All this... far left talk is kind of
scaring me"
Carlos Garcia
Some CNN viewers were outraged
at an interview with a young African American supporter of President Donald
Trump, and they took to social media to express their anger.
Kevin Martin of Pennsylvania
told CNN's Van Jones that he voted for Trump in the 2016 election, and he still
planned to vote for him in 2020, despite a few misgivings.
"All this, kind of this,
far left talk is kind of scaring me, when it comes to the border," he
said, though the rest of his statement was edited out.
"Look, I mean, I was
raised in a conservative family, and I'm in business, I'm a business
consultant, and business is great. And I don't want to lose that," Martin
explained.
"And I know that a lot of
the rhetoric coming out of the White House off Twitter, is concerning," he
admitted, "but putting personal feelings aside, I think that we're having
a great economic boom, I mean, people are risking their lives to come
here."
What was the response?
Many of those on the left who
watched the segment were angry that Martin said that he would support Trump in
2020 because his business was doing better. Several users said he need to be
re-educated.
@VanJones68 @CNN Somebody needs to find #KevinMartin on social media. We need to re-educate this lost brother. #TheRoot— Citizen Kane (@citizenkane61) 18 de julho de 2019
@OutFrontCNN I would remind #KevinMartin, the conservative negro who voted for Trump because "profits" from his consulting business are "good", of the 1930's negro who let whites kick him in the ass for a quarter. I'm sure profits were good for him too.— Sherbi Pierre (@Sistercornbread) 17 de julho de 2019

For #KevinMartin interviewed by #VanJones on #CNN - you watched an adult mock a disabled man in front of a crowd & you support him? you hear his #racism & you still back him? You told the whole nation you support his racism, sexism, & cruelty/war crimes as if that is intelligent?— Van Epperson (@VanEpperson) 18 de julho de 2019
Martin went on to say that
some of his black Republican friends had been pushed away by Trump's comments
and were actively supporting the presidential campaigns of Sen. Kamala Harris
(D-Calif.) or Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
