"Trumps African American" on MSNBC

This is the guy that was at the Trump rally, that Trump called out as his African American.

Chris Matthew interviewed him. He is running for Congress in Northern California.

He is expressing amazement on what is happening, but says he takes no offense.

Says that he is not currently a Trump supporter.

Doesn't know who he is going to support.

I wonder if there's anything to be read from "not currently a Trump supporter." Maybe he was and now isn't, or maybe he feels himself open to the possibility, despite the way he was treated? IDK...

He thinks Hillary has not done well for African Americans, didn't specify why. Thinks Bernie sees the problems but does not have the solutions.

I would have liked to see him push back more on Trumps bigotry.
