A Black farming leader erupted Sunday to correct a Trump "lie," all while exposing a purported "all-white" meeting held by the president.
John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, appeared on MS NOW over the weekend to talk about the Supreme Court's decision striking down Trump's tariff powers.
Trump has raged at the high court's justices since the decision was handed down.
But Boyd, who previously said Trump had "sold out" farmers, was focused on the president "lying" about $12 billion being paid out to farmers.
"He went down to Iowa and saidthat there was $12 billion thatwas paid out. People. That is alie!" he exclaimed. "The money has not beenpaid out, not $0.01 of it. AndI just recently got an email, Ithink, Friday that said thatsign up period has now moved toApril. The president said we'regoing to get the money inNovember. Then he said it'sgoing to get the money inDecember and then January andthen February. And now I justgot an email saying that thesign up period is now April.The president just keeps makingfalse statements and he's notbeing held accountable. Thispresident has a problem with Black leaders that speakup or anyone that opposesanything that he says."
Boyd went on to expose what he said was an "all-white farm meeting with an all-white audience."
"And when he announcedthat $12 billion... he had aroundtable for farmers andexcluded me from the meeting.And nobody believed that he excluded me from the meetinguntil it happened to a blackgovernor, who they disinvitedand didn't want him at thetable. That's his president'sM.O. and he says it's not race. They said, you know,we're moving away from DEI. We'removing away from the Blackfarmer issue, the small farmerissue. And that's the kind ofcoding they put in there. Butin all reality, he had an all-white farm meeting with theall-white audience thatexcluded Black farmers."
