Some of the messaging throughout the Democratic National Convention in Chicago seems to focus on characterizing former President Donald Trump as a racist and misogynist. A Black Republican from Chicago says those are lies.<\/p>\n

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has long used terms like \u201cracist\u201d and \u201cmisogynist\u201d in verbal attacks against the Republican presidential candidate. Throughout the week in Chicago, from the main convention stage to the Illinois delegation breakfast, speakers have echoed similar characterizations.<\/p>\n

Asked if it\u2019s fair to characterize a person who half the country supports in such terms over policy differences, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said party leaders aren\u2019t saying that Trump supporters are racists and misogynist.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am characterizing their candidate Donald Trump as a misogynist and a racist,\u201d Raould said Wednesday after the Illinois Democrats\u2019 breakfast. \u201cI\u2019m speaking for myself, I\u2019m characterizing him as a misogynist and a racist based on the words that have come directly out of his mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frederick Walls, a Black Republican running for a statehouse seat in Chicago, told The Center Square he is regularly in conversations with community members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey may say \u2018well, he\u2019s racist,\u2019 and I say \u2018just prove it\u2019 and then they can\u2019t prove this,\u201d Walls said while wearing a Trump 2024 hat. \u201cSo then I educate them on Donald Trump and say, \u2018well do you personally know him and what has he personally done to you?\u2019 And they can\u2019t say anything. And so I say, \u2018so all you know about him is what the media have showed you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Walls said the media is lying. He then provides background about Trump\u2019s support for Black leaders like Jesse Jackson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Republican Party was founded to abolish slavery,\u201d Walls said. \u201cEverything about the Republican Party was helping Black people getting back.\u201d<\/p>\n
