Former NFL Player and ‘Lifelong Democrat’ rips into Democratic ticket, and defends Trump: “I’m fed up with the way [Trump’s] portrayed in the media, who refuse to acknowledge what he’s actually done for the Black community.”
The third night of the Republican National Convention featured a wide variety of speakers, but one speech that truly stood out came from former NFL player and self-described ‘lifelong Democrat’ Jack Brewer.
Brewer addressed some of the common lies told about President Trump, and even excoriated the media for pushing misinformation.
Brewer runs an education program for prisoners and said that he has received tremendous support from Trump.

Ex-NFL player Jack Brewer ‘fed up’ with media calling Trump a racist
Former NFL player Jack Brewer accused the media of falsely portraying President Trump as a racist while ignoring his contributions to the Black community while speaking Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention in Charlotte.
“I know what racism looks like, I’ve seen it firsthand,” Brewer said. “America, it has no resemblance to President Trump. I’m fed up with the way he’s portrayed in the media, who refuse to acknowledge what he’s actually done for the Black community. It’s confusing the minds of our innocent children.”
Brewer is a prominent supporter of the president and member of Black Voices for Trump. He touted the president’s record on criminal justice reform, including the 2018 passage of the First Step Act, a bipartisan initiative meant to decrease the federal inmate population and cut sentences for low-level offenders.
Brewer also called out Joe Biden and Kamala Harris by name:
“At some point, for the sake of our children, the policies must take priority over the personalities,” Brewer said. “So because you have an issue with President Trump’s tone, you’re going to allow Biden and Harris to deny our underserved Black and brown children school choice? Are we so offended by the president’s campaign slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ that we’re going to ignore that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have collectively been responsible for locking up countless Black men for nonviolent crimes?”
His speech was just shy of five minutes long. Watch the whole thing below:
