“I can tell you what, and I feel this sincerely … I’m the father of three black women. I am the son of a black woman. If any black man can go in a polling place and cast a vote for a man who referred to a black woman as a dog on national television, I’m going to have to pray for them, ” Clyburn said.
I don’t know of any man [who] can abide that kind of disrespect and insult, ” he said.

That’s right John Legend…tell it like it is…100% FACTS! 🧎🏾‍♀️🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️

I can't find anyone telling he is a racist before he decided to run for president.

[stephaniepeppers]

I am always excited to listen to people like John Legend speak truth about Trump. Maybe some people will heed the warning from people with big voices ❤🙏

[teecee]

Thank you John. More people, in the public eye, should be saying these types of things.

[michaelmasiello]

Not true, when did Trump say any of this.

[patriciasermeno-ixyl]

I totally agree. I’m a Latina and get me furious to see Latinos voting for him even members of my family after all the things he said about us, very sad

[JC-trgh]

Well said, as per the usual from Legend. Telling it like it is.

[eugenehammen]

🤣 let this multimillionaire tell you who not to vote for

[julie]

He's one to talk. I have no respect fir him or his wife

[Stellasbaby]

Did Lindsay Graham and others close to him say the same thing. This is not a surprise. The sad thing is people that vote for him don’t care.

[michaelflinn]

Thank you John. More people need to speak up about this. Black Republicans please take notes here.

[jeremywisner]

“You ain’t black if you don’t vote for Joe”

[noraramirez]

Go away John Legend.
Just stick to your music.

[MrPtheMan]

Trump for 2024, John Legend can not even speak fluidity with all those lies😮's shuddering.

[Roadrunner]

Exactly. Hello? Does anyone else not see this so clearly? Well said John Legend.

[Christopher]

I've also noticed that about Trump. Glad to know it's not just me.

[JosephNJ]

After eight years of a black president I began to actually see how very racist America still is. I thought we had turned the corner. I was wrong.

[John-vbvs]

He. Has. Never. Acted as. A. Racist. Prove it. Cause. You. Cannot. He believes in. Hard work and I don't think is. Being. Racist

[MzChea]

Thanks for calling him out. You are truly a legend.
