Black Trump supporter suing Republican group, claims he was called 'a slave'

FORT MYERS, Fla. —

A well-known Black Trump supporter from Lee County, claims he was called a "slave" by a Republican group.

Carl Baxter, the president of the Republican Club of North and East Fort Myers, is suing Americans for Prosperity over the alleged discrimination.


According to the lawsuit, Baxter was getting paid by AFP for canvassing neighborhoods and talking to voters. Twelve days into the job, Baxter says he complained to his supervisor about not being properly compensated for the work he was putting in. Baxter's lawsuit says on the call with his supervisor when she stated: "I know you are doing the work and I can see the doors that you are hitting on my iPad on my side. At least you are working as a slave (sarcastically) but at least you are getting paid, many slaves today do get paid, many used to never get paid. Are you a slave?’”

I mean....why is he acting surprised? But at the end of the day I'm sure he'll still support them
