Transcript

So let me hit you with a little bit of knowledge since you all up in my comments. I'm from Detroit, Michigan. We are the number one largest urban city in the United States, 82% African American. Our police chief, African American. The police force, majority African American. Our fire chief is African American. Our fire department, majority African American. Our sheriff is African American. Our city council is majority African American. Our Wayne County prosecuting attorney, African American. Our judges, majority African American. Our lieutenant governor is African American. And you've not heard of one riot, rape, or tear down of the city during our peaceful protests. You want to know why? Because the Trumpsters don't come here. They go to other cities and they cause all that chaos and they do all that rioting and they make those peaceful protests look bad. You need to learn what's going on and explain to me why it's not happening in a majority African American city, but it's happening everywhere else.
