Mark Fisher, former BLM co-founder in Rhode Island, openly supports former President Donald Trump’s return in 2024 and is joined by others in the BLM movement.

Mark Fisher, co-founder of a Black Lives Matter (BLM) chapter in Rhode Island, is advocating for former President Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office in 2024—and insists he’s far from being the only one in the BLM movement to feel this way.

In a recent interview with podcast host Kim Iversen, Mr. Fisher was asked to defend remarks he made earlier that President Trump is “the best candidate we have.”

“Because everybody else sucks,” Mr. Fisher replied, later praising President Trump for his straightforward approach and contrasting it with what perceives as the Democratic Party’s hypocrisy.

Ms. Iversen sought to clarify Mr. Fisher’s response, asking if he thought President Trump was simply the best of a bad lot and frankly “not that great either.”

Mr. Fisher replied by highlighting his personal regard for President Trump—before adding that it’s hard not to appreciate what the 45th president brings to the table given the shortcomings of the incumbent.

“I like Trump,” he said, before adding: “I think right now, who we have sitting in the Oval Office is just a deep disappointment.”

He expressed “disdain” for President Joe Biden, adding that he “really dislikes” Vice President Kamala Harris as well.

‘The Tide Is Starting To Turn’

Reacting to Mr. Fisher’s critical remarks about the incumbent and words of praise for the former president, Ms. Iversen suggested that her interviewee was probably a lone figure in the BLM movement who thinks this way.

“No,” Mr. Fisher insisted. “I feel like the tide is starting to turn,” he said, adding that he thinks “a lot of black people are starting to pivot off that Democratic plantation.”

“For so long, we’ve been slaves to that,” he added.
