THE REAL: The Hosts On Voter Suppression & ATL Mayor on Police ‘Reimagining’

Keisha Lance Bottoms (The Real 09-30-20)

*On Wednesday, Sept. 30, the hosts of The Real discuss a report from the UK’s Channel 4 News, which says that in 2016, Donald Trump’s campaign targeted 3.5 million Black Americans with negative ads about Hillary Clinton to try and deter them from voting.

Co-host Adrienne Houghton points out that this is proof of how important the Black vote is, and co-host Garcelle Beauvais mentions that this is why this year it is more important than ever for the Black vote to come out to be counted.

Co-host Loni Love shares her feeling that the Clinton campaign did not do enough outreach to Black men. She feels the Biden campaign is doing a better job, but they still need to get Black men on board with voting.

Co-host Jeannie Mai reflects on her big week on Dancing With The Stars, and explains how dedicating her dance to fiancé Jeezy helped get her through her anxiety.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms visits and gives her opinion on the grand jury decision in the Breonna Taylor and whether the transcripts should be released. She also talks about how she doesn’t agree the that police departments should be defunded, but should be “reimagined.”

And Patricia Heaton drops in to talk about her new book, Your Second Act: Inspiring Stories of Reinvention, and reveals that her habit of organizing during the pandemic has her calling herself “Marie Kondo on steroids!”

The Ladies On How Voter Suppression Proves How Valuable The Black Vote Is

Adrienne Houghton: This is proof of how important the Black vote counts, of how important the Black vote is. If it wasn’t important and it didn’t matter and your vote didn’t count, they would not be doing this. They would not be going out of their way to make sure that you don’t vote. So let that sink in and the fact that obviously Hillary Clinton did not win, and that it may be due to the fact that those people didn’t vote – you can be a part of the change this time around.

Garcelle Beauvais: Just when you think they can’t go any lower – they do! I mean it’s unbelievable! Voter suppression! The fact that they’re so worried that our vote is so powerful, that they go out of their way, to make sure that we don’t vote, to target us, to – they’re calling it “deterrence,” that’s where they sort of single out the Hispanics, the Blacks, Asians – anybody that they can stop from voting, or not accounting your vote, right? And I feel like how does this man sleep at night? How does this administration feel ok about what they’ve done? And I feel like I’m always shocked, but then I don’t know why I am because it’s always something else, something else. So this is why this year is more important than ever for the Black vote to be counted, for us to come out in droves, to shout, to scream, and to get, you know, our vote counted.
