Hours afterTrump used the fatal shooting of Dwayne Wade’s cousin to declare he’d win African American voters, Trump offered up his prayers.
Just hours after NBA star Wade publicly confirmed his cousin had been tragically killed in crossfire while walking her baby in a stroller through a Chicago neighborhood, Trump tweeted Saturday that the death was “just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!”
Immediately, Trump was met with backlash as many questioned whether Trump’s week of African-American outreach had fully come off the rails.
In the afternoon, Trump offered his condolences.
My condolences to Dwyane Wade and his family, on the loss of Nykea Aldridge. They are in my thoughts and prayers.
