Forlesia Cook, whose grandson was murdered in 2017,delivered a jaw-dropping speechdefending President Donald Trump at his Black History Month celebration.
“I don’t want to hear nothing you got to say about that racist stuff” she said in a blunt message to Democrats, commanding them to “get off the man’s back” and “let him do his job.”
Why it matters:Cook’s defense came as Trump faced racism charges after a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys was posted on his Truth Social account before being removed. The White House said it was posted “erroneously” by a staffer, and Trump told reporters he “didn’t see” the racist portion and that “of course” he condemns it, though he declined to apologize.
What happened:Trump was so impressed by Cook’s remarks that he encouraged her to run for office, saying “you have my endorsement, Forlesia.” Cook praised Trump for bringing National Guard troops to DC and for keeping it “real,” saying “I can trust him.” Her 22-year-old grandson Marty William McMillan Jr. was murdered in 2017 after leaving for a date with a woman he met online, and his killer John Jabar McRae was sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2024. Trump also used the event to praise the late Rev. Jesse Jackson and announce that Ben Carson would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
