Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds believes that Democrats cannot have a serious conversation about race because they are terrified of bleeding more votes.

This week, many Democrats twisted words that Rep. Donalds said to accuse him of saying that black people had better lives when the United States had Jim Crow laws.

“You see, during Jim Crow, the Black family was together,” the representative said on Thursday.

“During Jim Crow, more Black people were not just conservative — because Black people have always been conservative-minded — but more Black people voted conservatively,” he said.

“And then HEW, Lyndon Johnson — you go down that road, and now we are where we are,” he said.

He did not say that their lives were better, but that did not stop Democrats from twisting the words of the representative who is said to be a contender to be former President Donald Trump’s pick for vice president.

“And that’s what was so really disgusting about what has happened the last couple of days,” he told “Prime News.” “You know, we were talking in Philadelphia just about Black families, why that’s important to the overall fabric of the Black community, and talking about Republican ideas and Donald Trump’s ideas and what that means in the presidential election and beyond.

“But leave it to the Biden campaign, Hakeem Jeffries, and the left to try to take my words out of context, clip my words, spin my words, and say that I would somehow think that Black people were better under Jim Crow. I would never say such a thing,” the representative said.

“That’s a dumb statement to make — not a statement I would ever make. But it goes to show their desperation. They are losing Black men to Donald Trump. They are losing Black voters to Donald Trump simply because their agenda has been terrible. It has been the worst thing for Black people in this country,” the Florida Republican representative said.

“The truth is, everybody has fallen behind under Bidenomics,” the representative said.

“It’s been terrible for everybody. The cost of every product Americans buy has been up 20% or more during his presidency. And so, wages adjusted for inflation [are] down. Americans have lost [$4,000 to] $5,000 per year under Joe Biden.

“That’s a catastrophe, especially if you’re a poor family, a working family, a lower-middle-class family trying to get ahead in America today. You simply can’t under Joe Biden. People know this. Black voters know this. That’s why they’re starting to turn away,” he said.
