When he appeared in Flint, Johnson said Black men need to vote, but with a conscience.
Johnnson added that Black men need to “understand” that Donald Trump “did not deliver on” promises he made “to the Black community.”
So, they should vote for Harris, Johnson said.

“Now, there’s a lot of Black men in here … our Black men. We gotta get them out to vote, that’s No. 1,” Johnson said Saturday. “Kamala’s opponent promised a lot of things last time to the Black community that he did not deliver on.
“We gotta make sure we help Black men understand that. So, that’s why I’m here — to make sure I help Black men understand first, get out and vote, and then vote for the next president of the United States, Kamala Harris.”
