Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany Showers Trump With Praise For Remaking GOP Into the ‘Party of Diversity’
Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany showered Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump with praise for “remaking” the GOP into the “party of diversity” in a discussion about his gains with Black and Latino voters on Tuesday.
After her Outnumbered co-host Harris Faulkner observed that there was time for courting voters in the 14 days before election day, McEnany mused that “that’s what you see President Trump doing,” referring in particular to a Latino roundtable event Trump attended in Florida on Tuesday.
“USA Today had a poll that showed him plus 11 with Latinos. Now, it is a little bit of an outlier, our Fox News poll still shows Kamala Harris ahead, albeit by a much smaller margin than Democrats won in the last cycle. So this is President Trump saying, ‘Come to me. Trust me on immigration,'” she continued. “Latinos support President Trump at our Fox poll, plus 15. They trust him on the issue. But when you add this to what we’re seeing with Black voters, it is a president that is remaking the Republican Party should these polling numbers materialize into votes. I could not believe when I saw a Reuters poll that 1 in 4 Black men under the age of 50 — 1 in 4 — support President Trump.”
“That is huge strides from a party that won 5% of Black men in 2008. He has made this the party of diversity, the party of the working man with his working man’s economic agenda. And no one would have predicted that, no less the media, in 2016 when he came down the golden escalator and they derided him as a racist, a xenophobe, all the things — people saw through it,” concluded McEnany.
After Faulkner remarked upon the economic successes of the first Trump administration, McEnany recalled a Wall Street Journal article published during it noting that “Black men gained with their wages more than white people in this country,” which she argued was atypical of economic booms.
Trump has continued to make inroads with minority voters in spite of his penchant for making controversial comments, especially about immigrants.
