Long time Trump employee, Lynne Patton was all over Rashida Tlaib for calling her a prop. Patton says she was there to support one man who she knew for a long time, who is always being called a racist.
Patton is a long time Trump employee, who now works for HUD in NY and NJ. She defended President Trump during and after the campaign. She has stood firmly behind the entire Trump family. She appeared at the Cohen hearing, standing behind Mark Meadows, which prompted noted antisemitic Rashid Tlaib to call Meadows a racist and Patton a prop.
“I was not there to represent an entire race of people. I was there to represent one man [Donald Trump], one man who never minds having the lowest unemployment rate for blacks, minorities, Hispanics, women and who also gave $32 million more than the last administration to historically blacks colleges and universities,” she said.
During Cohen’s testimony, Patton was standing behind Republican North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows. Her presence there provoked Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib to suggest first that Meadows, chair of the House Freedom Caucus, was a racist and that the congressman was merely using Patton as “a prop.”
Patton found that accusation revolting and she wondered why “the congresswoman from Michigan would take the word of a self-confessed perjurer and criminally convicted white male over a black female … that’s more racist.” Tlaib, who was first elected to the House in last November’s midterm elections, gained notoriety quickly for promising to “impeach the motherf****r” Trump.
