Byron Donalds sets the record straight

GOP Rep. Donalds Exposes Biden and Democrats’ Desperate Lies About Jim Crow Comment

Republican Congressman Byron Donalds of Florida recently found himself on the receiving end of baseless accusations from Democratic Congressmen, specifically Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. This is part of the Democrats’ desperation to regain support among black voters, particularly men who have been increasingly turning to Donald Trump.

At a recent Trump campaign event held by Donalds and fellow GOP Rep. Wesley Hunt of Texas, the historically conservative values of black voters were discussed.

Donalds pointed out that black voters have always leaned towards conservative values, but since the 1960s, they have continuously voted for Democrats. He stated, “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.”

He went on to explain how this demographic shift occurred due to social welfare programs introduced by President Lyndon Johnson.

And that's exactly what happened.
