Barack Obama accused black male voters who refuse to support Kamala Harris of sexism and demanded they get on board with the Democrat nominee.
The former president was at a campaign field office in Pittsburgh to thank volunteers, but instead gave them a lecture, saying he wanted to ‘speak some truths.’
Obama said he was responding to reports on the ground that there was lower enthusiasm for Harris than there was for his own candidacy and that some black men were thinking of sitting out the election.
‘We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. Now, I also want to say that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers,’ Obama said.
He continued: ‘Part of it makes me think – and I´m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren´t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you´re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.’
‘You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I’ve got a problem with that.’
Media reports have suggested that black male voters are a weak spot for Harris, after Joe Biden won 80% in 2020, down from 82% for Hillary Clinton in 2015.
It’s been reported that a quarter of young black men support Trump, which would drop Harris further.
