A Black farming leader erupted Sunday to correct a Trump "lie," all while exposing a purported "all-white" meeting held by the president. John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, appeared on MS NOW over the weekend to talk about the Supreme Court's decision striking down Trump's tariff powers.
Trump has raged at the high court's justices since the decision was handed down. But Boyd, who previously said Trump had "sold out" farmers, was focused on the president "lying" about $12 billion being paid out to farmers.
"He went down to Iowa and said that there was $12 billion that was paid out. People. That is a lie!" he exclaimed. "The money has not been paid out, not $0.01 of it. And I just recently got an email, I think, Friday that said that sign up period has now moved to April. The president said we're going to get the money in November. Then he said it's going to get the money in December and then January and then February. And now I just got an email saying that the sign up period is now April. The president just keeps making false statements and he's not being held accountable. This president has a problem with Black leaders that speak up or anyone that opposes anything that he says."
Boyd went on to expose what he said was an "all-white farm meeting with an all-white audience." "And when he announced that $12 billion... he had a roundtable for farmers and excluded me from the meeting.
