Lord Jamar, known for his roles in “The Sopranos” and his influence as a rapper and producer, did not hold back during a recent interview where he criticized Vice President Kamala Harris while expressing appreciation for former President Donald Trump’s leadership. In a blunt conversation, Jamar made clear his discontent with Harris, signaling his support might swing towards Trump.
Harris Struggles with Support from Black Men
With the election looming, Vice President Harris’s campaign appears particularly vulnerable when it comes to support from men, especially Black men. Despite her efforts to engage the community, influential figures, including radio host Charlamagne Tha God and actor Eddie Griffin, have pointed out her struggle to connect. Meanwhile, former President Trump continues to maintain a surprising level of appeal among Black male voters.
“This woman, to me, is not qualified to run, you know, a Dunkin’ Donuts or a 7-Eleven, let alone the corporation that we call the United States of America,” Jamar, a founding member of Brand Nubian, said in an interview with “The Art of Dialogue” on Saturday.
Jamar went on to challenge the narrative that Trump, if re-elected, would transform into a dictator. He highlighted Trump’s previous term as evidence that these fears were unfounded.
Trump vs. Harris: A Stark Contrast
“People want to act like Trump is the worst motherf—– in the world, but guess what? He was already president and all this s— that you’re talking about didn’t happen,” Jamar said. “He didn’t make himself a dictator and this whole s— about ‘he’s going to make himself a dictator’ is really taken so out of context that it’s ridiculous. He said he’d make himself a dictator on the first day, you know, to do some – implement some s— and then, you know, but that was, trust me, said tongue-in-cheek, it was not said seriously.”
In contrast, Jamar expressed deep concern over Harris, dismissing her and the Democratic Party’s agenda as “Project 2024.” He hinted at potentially voting for Trump to prevent such policies.
“Y’all already living in Project 2024 okay? You worried about Project 2025 when they already ran Project 2020 on you with the scamdemic and all that f—— bulls—-. Like… what the f— are y’all really even talking about? Y’all trying to act like… Scare me into thinking that he’s so much – so bad that I should just vote for this broad just because?” Jamar remarked. “But guess what? I feel that she’s so bad – I – she’s the one that scares me! So I feel that she’s so bad that guess what I might just go f— around and vote for Trump and this is my first time saying this out loud but y’all motherf—— think you’re gonna shame somebody or bully a n—- into voting for this b—-? Absolutely not.”
Sentiment on the Streets
Jamar also spoke of a broader sentiment against Harris in the Black community, saying the skepticism isn’t limited to Black men alone.
“Trust me the sentiment on the street in the real world is a lot of people are not f—— with this woman. They see right through her, and they’re trying to blame it on Black men, but no, I see a lot of Black women that are not f—— with her neither.”
He went on to contrast Trump’s approach to leadership with Harris’s, giving Trump credit for preventing wars through his aggressive diplomacy.
“Let’s keep it real a n—- like Trump. First of all, there was no wars when Trump was in – was the president, how about that? There was no wars going on while Trump was president. This mother—— was doing gangster s— to n—– like in the Taliban showing them pictures of their house from a satellite,” he said.
According to Jamar, Trump’s message was clear: “Touch a hair on an American’s head we going to bomb the s— out of your crib. For 18 months after that no American was touched.”
Experiencing Trump Supporters First-Hand
During the interview, Jamar recounted how someone he knew attended a Trump rally in Long Island, observing stark differences between Trump supporters and anti-Trump demonstrators.
“He said as a Black man he felt no racism whatsoever out there, he was – they actually like… brought him in type of s—, you know what I mean? Like, he felt welcomed to be there by the people that was there,” he said. “Who he didn’t feel welcomed by were the demonstrators that were against Trump, they were the ones looking at him like ‘Oh! What are you doing over there!?’”
