How a Black gay influencer went from marching with BLM to ‘shaking Donald Trump’s hand in the White House’

Amir Odom, a Black, gay liberal-turned-conservative influencer, has faced backlash for his commentary against various ideologies he once championed, but he said he had to shift his outlook after realizing “the truth.”

“I was very much following the script of thinking all Republicans were racist and homophobic, thinking that because I was Black, I had to believe it and stand with Black Lives Matter… That, because I’m gay, I have to be [a] Democrat, I have to support all the LGBTQ causes because that’s who was there for me. Until I realized that wasn’t the truth,” Odom said in an interview with Fox News Digital

“I was just regurgitating headlines, regurgitating what someone else said … and when I started doing the research on my own, that’s when things really blew up. And within one year, I went from marching in the streets with BLM to shaking Donald Trump’s hand in the White House,” Odom said.
