Free thinkers scare the media and Democrats.
Via Townhall:
There were hundreds of African American, Asian American, and Hispanic American conservative leaders and activists in what was a standing-room only crowd at the RNC’s LEAD Right Leadership Luncheon last week.
“The liberal media and the left wouldn’t want to admit it, but this is what the Republican Party looks like,” RNC Spokesman Steve Guest said.
Among the speakers were RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Pastor Darrell Scott, former Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson, and former presidential candidate Herman Cain.
During her remarks, McDaniel shared a story about Clarence Henderson, a African-American civil rights activist who converted from Democrat to Republican.
“Recently I asked Clarence to share his story about becoming a Republican,” McDaniel shared. “He told me that after years of voting Democrat, he investigated the promises they had made and not kept.
McDaniel wrote an op-ed about Henderson for Fox News in February, sharing his own words about why he switched parties.
After years of voting for the Democratic Party based upon indoctrination and relying on what others said, I began to investigate all of the promises they had made and not kept. At the same time, I researched the Republican Party and what they had done to advance the cause for African-Americans. I saw that the values of the party lined up with my beliefs. I knew I was a Republican when I voted for George W. Bush.
The RNC is hoping to keep informing the African-American community about the efforts Republicans have made for jobs and the economy, especially in light of tax reform. She shared their engagement efforts in Ohio as an example.
