Black Trump backers make his racial hypocrisy even more obvious

(CNN)Scherie Murray is the most recent black Republican getting heavy rotation on conservative media outlets. Not because of policies or any political experience. She is a black Donald Trump supporter, which is the latest stunt to become famous in politics or social media.

Last week, Murray announced she would challenge Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York's 14th district, calling the freshmen congressional representative's politics "toxic" and claiming that she is just "worried about being famous."

However, just a year ago, Murray was praising AOC, writing on Twitter, "Congratulations Alexandria. #Queens is headed in a new direction and It's time for new leadership. #Yes."

AOC has only been in office six months and was clear about her vision before her opponent congratulated her. Murray has a history of being a Democrat who reportedly switched to being a Republican a decade ago; however, she admittedly voted for Barack Obama twice. Challenging AOC as a Democrat would not have gotten her the press she appears to crave. Since her grand announcement, the 38-year-old businesswoman has appeared on Fox News' "Watters' World," "The Ingraham Angle" and "Sean Hannity."

Shouldn't that time be spent talking to her constituents, who are predominantly Democrat and obviously not Fox News watchers? Most bizarre, the Jamaican-born immigrant does not even live in the district she wants to represent; she resides in Laurelton, Queens. However, her Twitter followers have skyrocketed and, I predict, so have her donations.
