Montgomery added that the atmosphere at Chick-fil-A was full of people who welcomed Trump and came out to support him.
“He was very welcoming. People were excited to see him and people came out to support him,” Montgomery explained.
And of course, the people were from all four institutions within Atlanta’s local HBCU community, AUC. And they all showed up to support him. So it’s actually kind of crazy to see people making such a fuss when all four institutions were legally represented and SID students who wanted to support President Trump were representing all four institutions. is.

When asked what so many “young black Americans” were drawn to about President Trump, Montgomery said that rather than seeing President Trump as a “snake,” he was “honest” and told them, “What is it? He explained that he is seen as someone who can tell us what is going on. The grass is waiting for a chance to chew. ”
When asked about what Biden has done for the black community, Montgomery slammed Biden for trying to oppress the black community and causing chaos in the black community when he was a senator.
“Well, he locked up a lot of people who looked like me,” Montgomery explained.
And they are still sitting in prison waiting for justice, some kind of appeal. So what Joe Biden has done for Black Americans, if you look specifically at his record as a senator, it hasn’t benefited us at all. In fact, some would argue that he dedicated his entire senatorial career to destroying the black way of life. He didn’t want black children to go to the same schools as his own children, and he didn’t want black people walking on the sidewalk with their mothers and grandmothers.
Montgomery’s interview was part of a recent poll. wall street journal shows that support for Trump among Black men and women has nearly doubled since the 2020 presidential election.
