“If MSNBC can get away with casting people like me and Bruce LeVell as paycheck-hungry, desperate sell-outs, then its viewers can go on pretending that Black Trump supporters like us do not exist.”

“Americans are being attacked nationwide because of their party affiliation and political ideology.”

“My leadership and experience - it does make a difference.”

“It's very simple to me. President Trump's handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign.”

“I'm a Black MAGA man.”

“I am not afraid of the left. I am not afraid of the ragged liberal media.”

“They can actually change. You know you can go from being straight to being gay to being transgender and all these other genders. When you're Black, I don't have a choice.”

“I have personally been subjected to hate speech and threats because of my support for President Trump's reelection.”

“The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 would require states to recognize the concealed carry permits of other states, similar to how marriage licenses are recognized. We are a very mobile society and threats to our personal safety don't end at the state line.”

“Liberal white people do not want blacks thinking for themselves.”

“When I was growing up in North Carolina, we didn't wear our shoes in the summertime because we were trying to save them. By the time the fall came around, our feet had spread so much from walking around barefooted, the shoes didn't fit anymore.”

“My parents had very limited education, but they instilled an indelible value system in me that laid the foundation for me to be successful.”

“Donald J. Trump is a man's man. He's strong.”

“I never got a free ride.”

“Abraham Lincoln was controversial. Mahatma Gandhi was controversial. Jesus was controversial. If you call Vernon Jones controversial, then that is a badge of honor.”

“I supported Donald Trump in 2016, but people laughed at me. No one from the media paid any attention because they didn't think he could win, but he did.”

“Many states allow law-abiding gun owners to openly carry a handgun without a government permit. Constitutional Carry gives them the flexibility to put a coat or jacket on over their gun, or place it in a purse for convenience.”

“I have balanced budgets.”

“I can bring people together and work toward a better Georgia.”

“Civil rights for Blacks, and gay rights for gays are two different things.”
