DNC kicks off with controversial speaker
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."
