A Black Lives Matter (BLM) leader is throwing his support behind former President Trump in the 2024 race for the White House, accusing Democrats of racist policies that work against the Black community.
Mark Fisher, who is the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, joined ‘FOX & Friends’ to discuss why some Black voters are abandoning the Democrats as they figure out who they will vote for in the 2024 presidential election.
“It’s the Democratic binary, the hypocrisy,” Fisher told Lawrence Jones Tuesday. “We are not stupid. Brothers and sisters are not stupid. We understand when someone is for us and when someone is not, and it is clear that the Democratic Party is not for us.”
“That policy actually strikes at the heart of the Black family and the nuclear family,” he continued.
Fisher argued Democrats “undervalue” the Black vote during an interview with “The Kim Iversen Show” earlier this month while praising Trump for supporting policies to improve society.
“We’ve been used and abused for so long by the party, they don’t value our vote,” Fisher said. “Their policies are basically racist policies. I believe it is a racist party. Donald Trump is the opposite. He will tell you how it is. He will give it to you straight away.”
“Trump has done more for the Black community than I can think of any president I can think of in my lifetime,” he continued.

A New York Times/Siena College poll this month raised alarm bells for Democrats after finding that Trump has reached unprecedented levels of support from Black voters in the battleground states won by President Biden in 2020.
Black voters in Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin now have 22 percent support for Trump, up from eight percent in 2020.
A poll from May showed only 41 percent of black adults said they wanted Biden to run for a second term, and only 55 percent said they would likely support him in the general election.
These numbers are in stark contrast to his first few months in office, when 9 out of 10 Black voters approved of the job he was doing.

Fisher suggested that Black voters who still vote blue are “misinformed” and uneducated about Trump’s policies and how they benefit the Black community.
“A lot of people are misinformed,” Fisher said. “They don’t really understand because they don’t educate themselves about Donald Trump as a person and his history, but if they do, and it will take… will happen by itself, and it will be organic, because personally, I like men that.
“How can you not like a real man? How can you not relate to someone like that?” he continued.
Despite his political transition, Fisher said he is still affiliated with Black Lives Matter and wants to continue to deliver a message of “unity.”
“My message that I deliver and I deliver is unity. It’s a message of unity, driven by unity,” said Fisher. “I want to gather all the marginalized groups from the periphery and bring them to the center, because we are stronger together as… one nation under God, indivisible…”
