Amber Rose Slammed for Supporting Donald Trump by Biden ...
The Biden-Harris campaign is condemning Amber Rose for her support of Donald Trump.
The rapper and model spoke at the Republican National Convention on Monday, saying that she believes the “media lied” about the former president.
“I’m no politician and I don’t wanna be, but I do care about the truth, and the truth is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump,” she said. “I know this because for a long time, I believed those lies.”
She went on to say, “I believed the left-wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist” and “I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re Black, white, gay or straight. It’s all love. And that’s when it hit me: These are my people. This is where I belong.”

The Biden-Harris campaign’s senior spokesperson Sarafina Chitika is now speaking out against Rose.
“Amber Rose is right about one thing: research is important. Since we’re talking about facts, we brought receipts: Rose said American families were better off when Trump was president – and if she’s talking about his billionaire donors, she’s right,” Chitika tells me in a statement. “But for Black communities, it’s the opposite story: Black unemployment, Black uninsured rates, and crime rates skyrocketed under Trump’s leadership, because the truth is simple – Donald Trump doesn’t care about us, our lives, or our livelihoods.”
She concluded, “A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to line the pockets of millionaires like Rose at the expense of actual Black communities, and those are the facts.”
The speaker lineup for the first night of the Republican National Convention, which is taking place in Milwaukee, also included U.S. senators Marsha Blackburn, Tim Scott and Ron Johnson and U.S. representatives Marjorie Taylor Green, Wesley Hunt and John James along with a selection of governors and the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
