Two House Democrats accused former President Donald Trump of trying to bring back slavery during a livestream discussion. Their claims, made without evidence, reflect the extreme rhetoric some in the Democrat Party are using to attack Trump as he gains support from Black voters.
Key Facts:
- Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) made the accusations during a “State of the People” livestream.
- Crockett claimed Trump wants Black Americans to return to working in fields, likening his policies to slavery.
- Johnson suggested Trump’s education policies aim to keep Black people uneducated and in low-wage jobs.
- Their comments come as Trump sees growing support among Black and Hispanic voters.
- Fox News reached out to Crockett and Johnson for comment but received no response.
The Rest of The Story:
During the livestream, Crockett claimed Trump is steering Black Americans “back to the fields,” implying his policies aim to push them into menial labor.
Johnson took it further, saying Trump’s policies seek to keep Black Americans from being educated so they remain in low-income work.
These remarks follow months of heated rhetoric from Democrats against Trump, who has made unexpected gains among Black voters.

Fox News voter analysis from the last election cycle showed Trump increasing his support among Black and Hispanic voters, particularly among Black men.
His appeal even led to a Republican victory in Anson County, North Carolina, a majority-Black area that had not voted GOP in decades.
Commentary:
Democrats like Crockett and Johnson are showing just how far they are willing to go to smear Trump, and their latest claims are pure fearmongering.
Suggesting Trump wants to bring back slavery is not just absurd—it’s a desperate attempt to scare voters.
These remarks also highlight a growing problem for the Democrat Party: they cannot win on policies, so they resort to hysteria.
Instead of addressing real economic concerns, they push baseless claims to keep Black voters in their camp.
But the problem is, voters aren’t buying it anymore.
Trump’s increasing support among Black Americans proves that many are seeing through the lies.
They’re tired of the same empty promises from the Left.
Under Trump, Black unemployment hit record lows, and wages increased across demographics.
If his policies were truly designed to push people “back to the fields,” why did Black prosperity grow under his administration?
Democrats are in panic mode because their grip on minority voters is slipping.
Instead of offering real solutions, they’re screaming “racism” at every turn.
But if this kind of fearmongering is all they have left, their strategy is doomed to fail.
The Bottom Line:
Crockett and Johnson’s comments reveal just how desperate Democrats have become to stop Trump’s growing popularity among Black voters.
Instead of making a rational case for their policies, they resort to wild accusations.
But voters are waking up, and Democrats’ usual scare tactics aren’t working like they used to.
