41. College Student Claiming to Be a Black Republican Tricked Trump Supporters into Giving Her Money

Fri Nov 23, 2018, 07:09 PM

Nov 2018

Everyone loves a good sob story, regardless of political persuasion. It’s a natural human tendency that one college student took advantage of, to viral results.

Known simply as “reformed republican” on Twitter and Quran in real life, the student started her story by tweeting on Oct. 27 that she was tired of pretending to be something she’s not.

“I will not hide any longer, the left has made us feel as if us black republicans should hide!! but not anymore!! #BlacksForTrump #WalkAway #maga,” she captioned a picture of herself wearing a Make America Great Again bucket hat.

Shortly after, some Trump fans showed their support for her online, prompting Quran to write more about what she described as her family struggles as a result of her political beliefs. She claimed that her parents had cut her off financially and asked, “If you can find it in your hearts to help this young, black Republican pay for school it would be appreciated.”

...

But, as it turns out, it was all a ruse, the student revealed in another tweet a few hours later.

“Trump is a racist, homophobic, transphobic, bigot AND YOU THINK MY BLACK A— WOULD SUPPORT THAT ROTTING CARROT?? ridiculous. any black person can put on that ugly a— hat and say #MAGA and yall will instantly be up their a— cuz you wanna prove so hard you’re not racist,” she wrote.
