Rhode Island-based Black Lives Matter (BLM) activist Mark Fisher's endorsement of former President Donald Trump is being celebrated by conservatives, but local organizations are distancing themselves from him.
Fisher's endorsement of the former president, who remains the front-runner in the Republican 2024 presidential primary, resurfaced following a new interview on Fox News this week, in which he said Trump has done "more for the Black community than any president I can think of in my lifetime."
"We've been used and abused for so long by [the Democratic Party]. They don't value our vote. Their policies are basically racist policies. I believe it's a racist party. Donald Trump is the opposite. He's going to tell you how it is. He's going to give it to you straight," he said.
