Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., went to bat for Donald Trump over the weekend, jumping to the former president's defense over comments he made suggesting Black voters connect with him because of his slew of indictments. During a South Carolina summit of Black conservatives on Friday, Trump said that people around him cited his bevy of indictments as why "the Black people like me, because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against. And they actually viewed me as— I’m being discriminated against. It’s been pretty amazing."
