Black Lives Matter (BLM) Rhode Island leader Mark Fisher announced he was endorsing former President Donald Trump for president in 2024, declaring the “Democratic Party is not for us.”
During a Tuesday appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” co-host Lawrence Jones asked:
“This is my favorite story of the day because it identifies what I have seen in the barbershop.”
“All the brothers, for some reason right now are turning tides right now. I just wonder what is the big reason?”
Fisher said:
“I think personally it’s the duplicity of the Democrats, the hypocrisy.”
“We are not stupid.”
“The brothers are not stupid,” Fisher stated.
“We understand when someone is for us and when someone is not.”
“It’s obvious that the Democratic Party is not for us. Their policies actually strike at the heart of the black family and nuclear family,” he continued.
Fisher added:
“A lot of people are misinformed. They don’t understand because they don’t educate themselves on Donald Trump as a person and his history.”
“But, if they do that it’s, going to take, you know, leaders, educating leaders to get the word out there,” he said.
“I think it will happen on its own.”
“It will be organic because, personally, I love the man. How could you as like a real man, how could you not relate to someone like that?”

In October, Fisher officially came out in support of Trump, calling him “the best candidate we have” while also slamming the treatment of the January 6 prisoners.
Fisher, who resigned from his leadership position at BLM, stood in solidarity with leaders of the Proud Boys and for those he considered political prisoners.
“They’re lambs led to slaughter to be sacrificed as an example for all who might want to dissent in the future,” Fisher told The Epoch Times.
“This is what the government does to those who express independent thought and want to stand up for what they believe.”
Fisher said that many black people secretly support President Trump and want him to return to office but stay silent for fear of backlash.
“They won’t say it in public in fear of backlash from the community because they have reputations, businesses, and relationships they don’t want to put in jeopardy, but they’ll speak with their vote,” he said.
Fisher also blamed the summer riots of 2020 on far-left extremists such as Antifa.
“Antifa had a lot to do with the riots of 2020, and there were a lot of anarchist groups who just wanted to take advantage of the moment and were out for destruction,” he said.
