Donald Trump’s campaign team sparked immediate backlash after posting a Juneteenth statement using bizarre wording causing many to raise concern. Yasmin Kahn and Farron Cousins break it down on The Damage Report.

And considering the fact that Juneteenth is specifically a federal holiday celebrating and honoring Black American culture – something for which Trump has been repeatedly chastised and accused of being disingenuous, at best – the way the statement was written might raise some eyebrows.
It also can’t be ignored that the statement didn’t come from Trump himself and instead was attributed to the “Team Trump Black Media Director.””
