Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo doubled down on a racial trope that Black Americans will assist former President Donald Trump as a result of “they love sneakers.”
Last week, the GOP frontrunner made a shock go to to Sneaker Con in Philadelphia to debut purple, blue, and gold gymnasium footwear known as “Never Surrender High Top Sneaker,” promoting for $399.
“This is (the shoes) connecting with Black America. Because they’re into sneakers. They love sneakers. This is a big deal. Certainly in the inner city,” Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo stated throughout a community broadcast.
Arroyo steered that Black voters will pivot from the Democratic Party and President Joe Biden due to the brand new footwear.
“It’s for people who want Donald Trump-brand sneakers that, against, he’s connecting on a different level.”

President Joe Biden’s reelection marketing campaign issued a stark rebuke to Trump’s sneaker-gate.
“Donald Trump showing up to hawk bootleg Off-Whites is the closest he’ll get to any Air Force Ones ever again for the rest of his life,” Michael Tyler, the marketing campaign’s communications director, stated in a press release.
The almost $400 sneakers have been launched the day after a choose ordered Trump and his namesake firm to pay $453.5 million in a New York actual property fraud lawsuit.
