WATCH: Flint Democratic Councilmember Endorses Trump In A Fiery Speech (VIDEO)
Flint City Councilmember Maurice Davis, a Democrat endorsed President Donald J. Trump for re-election.
Davis stated, “What an honor to be standing before you at a serious time like this in the world. Pandemic, the China virus, or plague. I’ve even caught it and was in intensive care twice. The narrative has been spent. This is not a game, folks. President Trump, Vice President Pence, God use whoever he want to bring his people out of whatever the problem have to be. Right now, the narrative been spinning. President Trump is full of hate. Let me tell you something. The Democrats is full of hate. I’m tired. I’ve been a Democrat. I am a Democrat all my life. Sixty four years. Last four years, I voted for Hillary Clinton. This year, I decide to go with President Trump.”
Davis told constituents that he was tired of the hate espoused by Democrats after Hillary Clinton’s defeat.
Davis continued, “I’m not a bootlicker. I’m not an Uncle Tom. I’m none of those things. I’m somebody that’s in a poor, impoverished community. President Trump, thanks to my good friend (Journalist) Charles LeDuff out of Detroit. I was doing a piece on closing liquor stores early because I live inside of a crime scene right here in Flint. People, aren’t for closure right here in Flint. People are losing everything. And when Mr. Trump said, ‘what the hell you got to lose?’ He was talking to me. He was not talking to my seat. Only thing Maurice D. Davis has got to lose is a council seat at seven hundred dollars every two weeks. But this is what I’ve got to gain. Instead of being a divided state of America, it’s time to be the United States of America.”
Davis questioned the crowd, “Do you understand what I’m telling you? I don’t want to hear fault. He, without sin, cast the first stone. We saved under grace. God use whoever he want to such as times like these. Vice President Pence, the Trump administration, they reached out to me. Our water crisis has been stalling. I’ve been before probably 170 million people in a couple of days. Interviews everywhere where people accuse me of being selfish. People dying right here and have died. We are tired of suffering and nobody give a damn about poor folks. President Trump, they reached out with nothing but love from y’all all over this nation. I don’t want to hear another time. I’m a Trump supporter. I’m American supporter. You’ll have more love. Now, the Democrats call me every name, but the child of God. And I’m gonna shut up cause there’s much more I can say. But I’ll tell you one thing. This nation is one nation under God. One nation under God. Thank you all for listening. Thank you. Thank you.”
