I watched the Trump rally report today and observed some African Americans in the crowd. Not all Americans of color are Democrats. I understand that. However, at this juncture, who among them would be supporting Trump?
As reported, Candace Owen's BLEXIT Foundation paid for some attendees. Who is she?
Candace Amber Owens Farmer (née Owens; born April 29, 1989) is an American conservative author, commentator, and political activist. Initially critical of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, Owens has become known for her increasingly pro-Trump activism as a black woman, in addition to her criticism of Black Lives Matter and the Democratic Party. She worked for the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA between 2017 and 2019 as its communications director.
"Some guests for Saturday's White House event on the South Lawn, which will be President Donald Trump's first since testing positive for the coronavirus, had their travel and lodging paid for by controversial conservative activist Candace Owens' group BLEXIT, according to emails obtained by ABC News.
Supporters, who are also scheduled to attend a separate BLEXIT event earlier in the day, were invited to attend a "HUGE outdoor rally" by the group and asked to fill out a form that notified them that BLEXIT, a campaign urging Black Americans to leave the Democratic Party, will be covering travel costs."

The White House is not intended for political campaigning, and hosting an event to paid attendees may be a violation of campaign laws, or BLEXIT's foundation non-profit regulations. Go investigate.
