A man who says he was a founding member of the Black Panther explained why he supported former President Donald Trump for president in an interview posted Monday afternoon to TikTok.
The man in the video said he was David Hilliard, who served as the Chief of Staff of the Black Panther Party. He referred to Trump as a “friend to African Americans” and a “decent man” who financially supported his organization. He said he knew the former president as a college student during the time he allegedly supported the organization in the 1960s, where he reportedly “owned all of Harlem.”
“Trump’s a friend of African Americans, and I knew Trump from the 1960s in New York, where he comes from and he’s a friend to African Americans. He’s a decent man … I mean he’s not a racist,” the man said. “He’s not a racist, fascist, white man. He supported black people.”

Black support toward President Joe Biden has fallen to a record low since the Civil Rights era, with Biden currently leading former president 70% to 18% among black voters, according to a New York Times/Sienna College poll from late May. The incumbent garnered 92% of the black vote in 2020.
Biden is only leading Trump 47% to 42% among Hispanic voters, according to the NYT/Sienna poll.
