A 70-year-old black grandmother whose grandson was killed in Washington, D.C., in 2017 thanked President Donald Trump for making her city safer with his tough-on-crime policies.

At a Black History event Wednesday in the White House, Forlesia Cook shredded race-hustling Democrats who smear Trump as “racist” for trying to eradicate crime.

“Thank God for this president,” Cook gushed. “I love him. I don’t want to hear nothing you got to say about that ‘racist’ stuff.”

“And don’t be looking at me on the news, hating on me because I’m standing up for somebody that deserves to be standing for.

“Get off the man’s back. Let him do his job! He’s doing the right thing. Back off him,” Cook continued. “Grandma said it.”

The audience in the East Room erupted into applause at Cook’s fiery defense of the president.

Earlier in her speech, Cook said she likes Trump because “he keeps it real, just like Grandma. I appreciate that, because I can trust him.”

She explained that “Democrats get mad at me” because she supports the president’s anti-crime agenda, including his move to send theNational Guardto Washington.
