Pastor Darnell Scott didn’t take too kindly to Rep. Maxine Waters’ (D-Calif.) comments characterizing President Donald Trump as un-presidential and a “shameful racist.”

During an interview with Fox Business Thursday morning, Scott slammed congressional Democrats like Waters for constantly playing the race card when it comes to Trump.

“This race card that the Democratic party keeps playing is getting played out,” said the pastor, who’s also an avid Trump supporter. “It’s ’bout as worn out as a deck of cards in the penitentiary.”

The pastor was no-holds-barred, however, in his rebuke of Congresswoman Waters and the rest of the Congressional Black Caucus for their show of resistance at Trump’s first State of the Union address Tuesday night.

“She talks about the president [not] behaving presidentially; she needs to act and behave congressionally,” Scott said. You know you have what they have the drunk uncle? Well she acts like the crazy aunt that’s rambling and babbling incessantly over every little thing and her act is becoming very, very stale.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
