‘Most Pathetic… I’ve Ever Seen’: Black Donald Trump Co-Defendant Faces Online Backlash for Demanding Apology from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for Calling Him Racial Slur

The former Black Voices for Trump director said he was called the N-word by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, but he isn’t garnering much sympathy from people online.

Harrison Floyd posted on his X account about Greene last month right after the Georgia congresswoman went after conservative firebrand Laura Loomer with racism accusations.

Greene found fault with an inflammatory post that Loomer made about Kamala Harris after the vice president wrote about her visits to India as a child on X. Loomer’s post invoked racist tropes about “curry” and “call centers” while referencing Harris, who is Black and South Asian, which Greene called “appalling” and “extremely racist.”

In Loomer’s defense, Floyd wrote that Greene “has no room to call anyone a racist or talk about what the MAGA community stands for when she refers me as a Ni**er in private. She has never publicly supported me and tried to save her own skin.”

Floyd followed up with a demand for an apology from Greene for her insensitive remarks towards him.

“Retract and apologize for your own racist / insensitive comments now or I will come to the Hill for it in person,” Floyd wrote.

While Floyd’s claim that Greene uses racial slurs might come as a surprise to some, to many others, it wasn’t.

“I mean is anyone shocked by this? Upset sure but shocked no,” one X user wrote. “We tried to tell him,” another person added.

“This is the most pathetic sh-t I’ve ever seen. A black man advocating for one racist while shaming another. What in the f–king twilight zone is happening in America ?” another comment read.

The former head of Black Voices for Trump was charged as a co-conspirator in a sweeping racketeering indictment against Donald Trump that alleges that the former president and several of his allies made coordinated efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.

Floyd is accused of working alongside Trevian Kutti, the former publicist for Kanye West, and Stephen Lee, a pastor, to pressure Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman into falsely admitting that she stole votes and committed election fraud.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
