Raffi Williams on Failure of NAACP to Recognize Black Republican Victories

November 7, 2014 by Daniel

RNC Deputy Secretary Raffi Williams went on “Fox and Friends” to challenge the NAACP on their failure to recognize the significant black republican victories of Representative-elect Mia Love and Senator Tim Scott.

The statement issued by the NAACP read:

“NAACP STATEMENT ON OUTCOME OF THE 2014 MIDTERM ELECTIONS

November 05, 2014
(Baltimore, Md.) — The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is committed to leading the effort alongside other civil and human rights organizations and our newly elected Congress to pass a robust Voting Rights Act Amendment.

Equal access to voting remains paramount as numerous reports of voting irregularities emerged during the midterm elections yesterday.”

It went on to say:

“Cornell William Brooks, President and CEO of the NAACP:

‘This election was not about who won but the rather the citizens who lost the right to participate.’”

These statements are what sparked a response on twitter by Raffi Williams:

can we take a moment to understand how the @NAACP didnt congratulate the first black person ever elected to both the House and Senate?

— Raffi Williams (@Raffiwilliams) November 6, 2014

it is unacceptable for an org that supposedly supports all blacks @NAACP to only acknowledge Dem blacks

— Raffi Williams (@Raffiwilliams) November 6, 2014

.@NAACP should support all black ppl who are working to affect positive change in their communities. But they dont
