Black Caucus Backs Trump’s War Budget
Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford
26 Sep 2017
🖨️ Print Article

Democrats detest everything about Donald Trump -- except his war policies, said Ajamu Baraka, the former Green Party vice presidential nominee and spokesperson for the Black Alliance for Peace. A majority of the Congressional Black Caucus supported Donald Trump’s gargantuan war budget, which will inevitably result in drastic cuts in social programs. The Obama war-making legacy has “resulted in Black people having a less critical stance” on U.S. wars, said Baraka.
