The first black attorney general in Kentucky history, Daniel Cameron, excoriated Joe Biden’s past remarks on race in a speech at the Republican National Convention.
“I also think about Joe Biden, who says, ‘If you aren’t voting for me, you ain’t black,’ who argued Republicans would put us back in chains, who says there is no diversity of thought in the black community,” Cameron said. “Mr. vice president, look at me. I am black. We are not all the same, sir. I am not in chains. My mind is my own, and you can’t tell me how to vote because of the color of my skin.”
Cameron addressed the Democratic nominee directly, referencing Biden’s 2012 speech to black voters in which he said that Republicans were going to “put y’all back in chains.”
In a May interview with The Breakfast Club, Biden remarked, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” That statement was met with heated criticism, with the former vice president later saying the comments were “in jest.”
Cameron, 34, was elected to the post of Kentucky attorney general in 2018, beating Greg Stumbo, the former attorney general. President Trump endorsed Cameron, saying that a “star was born.”
