(RepublicanPress.org) – On July 15, model Amber Rose spoke at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee to support GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. She said that under a second Trump presidency, kids in America would have a better life, claiming the media has been lying about who the former president really is. Rose said she believed them and assumed he was racist until recently, after she quickly received criticism and fired back.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid responded to Rose’s speech at the RNC, calling her “racially ambiguous” and claiming the model/rapper previously said she wasn’t a black woman. She indicated that the RNC brought her in because her “whole career is based in black culture” and was using her to bring in young people from the black community.
Rose fired back at the host on social media, stating she “never said [she] wasn’t black” but considers herself “biracial.” The celebrity said she wouldn’t deny her “white father to make [Reid] feel more comfortable” and told the host to “stop being a race-baiter.”
During her speech at the RNC, Rose said that it was actually her dad who encouraged her to look into Trump and his MAGA movement. She said after some digging, she discovered that the former president and those who support him “don’t care if you’re black, white, gay, or straight.” It was then that the model felt she had found her people. CNN’s Van Jones called her speech “dangerous” for the Democratic Party because she could appeal to other liberal individuals who feel the way she used to.
The Trump campaign is hoping to gain more support in the black community, as a poll from June showed that 7 out of 10 black Americans hold an unfavorable view of the former president.
Several other entertainers, including Savannah Chrisley, Lee Greenwood, and Chris Janson, spoke at the RNC to help bring in support to the Republican Party. The lineup also included several people from the business world, including Charlie Kirk, Bob Unanue, Dana White, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
