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:
Sir WE the PEOPLE STAND with you! The Media have called we the PEOPLE every HATE filled name for doing our civic duty. I take it as proof I made the best choice and I thank God for his intervention! I can endure ALL of the hateful names for PROTECTING MY Country from EVIL.
Reprehensible that these two accomplished gentlemen can’t make a personal decision without being called racist names by “tolerant liberals” and their own brotherhood. Sad day in America.
Totally Agree..These two men can make a BIG difference in our country…
I was looking at a magazine at the check out line and they were spreading lies.
Satan is into everything. Jesus said, in the end times, Satan’s power would increase …
Expecting justice from a fallen people is optimistic I’m afraid.
Because he makes equal pay and is doing great in America as others blacks can if their not mooching. Good guy.
Love Steve Harvey he is a Patriot!
It’s o.k. Steve. Join us deplorable. We are the ones with common sense!
The leftist fascist pigs will attach Trump, his family or anybody who might be associated with him in any fashion or in any capacity! This is not democracy, this leftist tyranny!
