Rep. Byron Donalds introduces former president Donald Trump at a Bronx rally last month. Rep. Byron Donalds , campaigning Tuesday for former president Donald Trump, argued Black families were stronger during the Jim Crow era, drawing vocal condemnation from Democrats including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries .
“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,” Donalds said. “And then H.E.W., Lyndon Johnson — you go down that road, and now we are where we are.”Donalds appeared to refer to the former federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
“It has come to my attention that a so-called leader has made the factually inaccurate statement that Black folks were better off during Jim Crow,” Jeffries said. “That’s an outlandish, outrageous and out-of-pocket observation.”, posting his quote and saying, “Trump VP contender Byron Donalds claims life was better for Black Americans during Jim Crow.”.
During the Jim Crow era, Black Americans faced state and local laws that made racial discrimination legal.
