[ワシントン ２５日 ロイター] – Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Haley and the Democratic Party are vying for the Republican presidential nomination after former U.S. President Donald Trump made a comment that equated his position under criminal prosecution with the black population, which has long suffered discrimination and persecution in the United States. It was met with criticism from black groups and other groups.

On the 23rd, at a gathering of black conservative groups ahead of the South Carolina Republican primary, Trump said that he had been charged with four criminal offenses, saying, “Black people have been severely harmed and discriminated against in the past. Many people have told me that that’s why they like me. They (black people) see me in a way that makes them feel discriminated against.”

However, Mr. Trump was indicted because of his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and the smuggling of classified documents, which highlighted the unfairness that the black community has experienced under the U.S. criminal justice system. The objective fact is that this is completely different.

Haley, who has been labeled a racist by Trump, dismissed her comments as “absolutely disgusting” and said she would lose the presidential election again if Trump were to become the Republican nominee. This is a serious warning sign.”

A senior campaign official for President Biden said, “Mr. Trump is claiming that black people will support him because his criminal charges are insulting. That’s ridiculous and downright racist.” .

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), an influential black organization, and the civil rights group National Action Network both said that Trump’s comments were based on his own criminal problems and the systemic racial bias that exists in the U.S. criminal justice system. He accused the government of unfairly linking the debate over the issue.
