TV host Steve Harvey is trying to make America’s inner-cities great with the help of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson — but the comedian is receiving push back for a ridiculous reason.
Harvey’s involvement with HUD may seem odd at first, but the pairing was a result of one of the early days of Trump’s transition efforts. Those days at Trump Tower saw several celebrities and big-name celebrities coming through the revolving doors hoping to get the president elect’s ear.
While many — including Kanye West — managed to make a connection with the president, few moved forward with any roles with the administration.
But Harvey did. And, of course, the backlash was immediate. Despite his noble efforts to elevate many in the black community, some people didn’t like the fact that he dared to team up with Trump at all.
See what Harvey said about the reaction on the next page:
Sad worl we are living in!
We love you Mr Harvey
Sorry, Steve.
Stay true Steve . You are a good man
Then, you must be doing the right thing!!
This hatred for black conservatives is being fueled by evil people who want to destroy America…. Democrats think they own the black votes…. these conservatives are fighting the Democrat slave owners
These two gentlemen even look intellegent. We have to either fight or ignore these immoral people but sitting on the fence by the republicans will only allow this behavior to continue. The strong and working class should fight harder look at the price anyone who sticks up for values have to pay
Stay the course Steve.
Good man Mr. Harvey!
Steve, you are wonderful. You stand your ground. The Democrats care about black people every four years. They are players. I’m glad you are smart and see through their b.s.
