Civil rights activist Melanie Campbell was one of the first speakers at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Monday.

Campbell, who is the President & CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, has become a prominent figure around the Biden White House, visiting the White House frequently during President Biden's term.

But Campbell has been seen as a potential problem for Democratic messages of unity after she made controversial statements about supporters of former President Donald Trump during a recent Zoom call with fellow activist Cora Masters Barry.

"We have to change our strategy. We got to get our people. We have to get our – they got their people. They got all the trailer parks all covered," Barry said during the Zoom. "All them people up in West Virginia and the hills, they're covered. They got them all the way there to Wall Street."

"[Trump] did that, and we're sitting here talking about the White women. F--- the white women– excuse me – forget the White women. They’re going to do what the White men tell them to do," Barry continued, eliciting laughter and clapping from Campbell.

"What they tell themselves," Campbell responded.

"They be smiling in their faces, they want to stay in charge," Barry continued, with Campbell reacting affirmatively in the background. "I don't care nothing about them, we got to do what we got to do."
