*Anthony Anderson weighed in on the 2016 Presidential Election during his visit to “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on Wednesday, and the “Black-ish” star made it clear that African Americans do not vote for candidates based solely on their race.
“I know who I’m not going to vote for,” he told Meyers. “The black guy.”
He said in 2008, many people believed that “people in the African-American community only voted for Barack Obama because he is black,” but that “that theory does not hold any weight” anymore.
“I don’t know any negro that’s voting for Ben Carson,” he said. “I mean, his wife isn’t even voting for him. I saw her with a ‘Go Hillary’ button on the other day.”
Watch below:
Carson appears next to last in the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, with a current standing of 10 percent among the Republican nominees. The poll was taken after the New Hampshire Primary. Only Jeb Bush ranks lower than Carson, at four percent.
