In a new video released by Project Veritas Action, a top Democratic donor and Hillary Clinton supporter is caught on camera disparaging members of the African American community at a fundraiser for North Carolina U.S. Senate candidate Deborah Ross.
In the video, prominent Ross donor Benjamin Barber
expresses his opinion about blacks who vote Republican by comparing them to
Nazis.
“Have you heard of the Sonderkommandos? Jewish
guards who helped murder Jews in the camps. So there were even Jews that were
helping the Nazis murder Jews! So blacks who are helping the other side are
seriously fucked in the head. They’re only helping the enemy who will destroy
them. Maybe they think ‘if I help them we’ll get along okay; somehow I’ll save
my race by working with the murderers,’” said Barber at a fundraiser for Ross
on the Upper West Side of New York City on September 19, 2016.
Project Veritas Action thought it was important to share
Barber’s words with African American Republicans in North Carolina. They
expressed outrage over the comments that were made at the Ross fundraiser.
“I think that Deborah Ross has shown her true colors. If
this is not a, if that…what you just showed me is not racism and condescending
and basically calling blacks stupid and ignorant and saying that we are voting
against our own self-interest if we support any Republican. I am
appalled. I am in incensed. Deborah Ross should be called to task
for something like that,” said Bishop Wooden, a black voter in North Carolina.
