Lynne Patton, a top Trump housing official who is black, fired back at Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib for accusing her of being a prop for racists.
Freedom Caucus Chair Mark Meadows, responding to convicted criminal Michael Cohen’s assertions that the President is racist, introduced Patton during the hearing.
“[Patton] says that as a daughter of a man born in Birmingham, Alabama, that there is no way that she would work for an individual who was racist,” Meadows told Cohen. “She disagrees with you.”
Tlaib took issue with the display, referring to Patton as nothing more than a prop.
“The fact someone would actually use a prop, a black woman in this chamber, in this committee is alone racist in itself,” she claimed.
Patton had no intentions of letting the Michigan Representative’s accusations fly without challenging them, and whoa – did she ever unleash.
“Today a race card was played,” she said on Instagram. “But not by Congressman Mark Meadows.”
The real race card was played “by those on the House Oversight Committee who sadly placed more credence on the word of a self-confessed convicted perjurer, than that of a highly-educated black woman who rose up the ranks of one of the most recognized global real-estate companies in the world, spoke before 25 million people at the Republican National Convention and now successfully oversees the largest HUD program office in the country.”
“That is not the resume of a prop,” she added.
“I was not there to represent an entire race of people. I was there to represent one man,” Patton later said in an interview with “Fox & Friends.”
She continued by citing President Trump’s economic resume and the work he’s done to improve conditions important to the black community.
The viral video Patton is referencing in her Instagram post was one which she narrated defending the Trump family against accusations that Donald Trump is racist.
“As a black female executive at The Trump Organization, I can no longer remain silent about the repeated and reprehensible attempts to align my boss and his family with racist hate-mongering groups, campaigns, and messaging,” she said.
In it, she also stressed that the Trump Organization had hired “more minority and female executives than any other company for which I’ve worked.”
In an interview with The Hill, Patton continued to slam the Democrat party’s star witness and defend President Trump.
“I’ve known Michael Cohen for 10-plus years. I’ve known the president for probably the same amount of time,” she said. “Michael Cohen knows I know the truth and the truth is, is that it doesn’t take 15 years to realize somebody is a racist, unless of course, they are not.”

After the seconterm of Donald Trump, I will stop supporting the Republicans. They are a lazy bunch of RINOS, most of them very inept politicians. They are so inept that they are being outwitted by rookie terrorist Muslim politicians like Rashida Tlaib, who should be kicked out of the USA as she is a Palestinian spy.
I agree with you Probhat. They are too weak. I am so sick of all the racist card BS from the left. The radical left and LSM is trying to destroy our nation with their RADICAL IDEAS. They don't show anything good that Trump does. Like I listened to his celebration speech at the white house with the Black History Month people that loved him. A lot of Afro-Americans are waking up. They see the DemonRats for what they are and what they're trying to do and done to their people. God Bless them! And their eyes are being opened to the truth. Check the #Walk Away group and what they have to say. Wake up, people! Don't be sheeple! Do your research.

There are still some people in government that command respect and Lynne Patton seems very much to be among that small number. As long as we can still find people of her caliber to counter the pernicious presence of people like Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and the now notorious AOC, America will survive all their transparent efforts to destroy it and turn it into a third world Muslim hellhole. Of the three, AOC is the one who represents the greatest danger because she has responded to all the relentless media hype by believing in her own power to run not just America, but the entire world. That might be okay if she actually had good ideas, but the evidence that she is in fact a morally tone-deaf moron on virtually every subject accumulates every time she opens her mouth to issue some new world-shaking pronunciamento. To make it all infinitely worse, no one in the Democrat Party seems to have the courage to tell her to shut up, sit down, and try to learn something. Instead, they appear to have ceded her the power to set the agenda, and by God she's damn well going to do it! They look like a gaggle of vacant-eyed old farts being led around by the nose by a whiny, empty-headed, Valley Girl high school freshman ditz. It's a pathetic spectacle, and potentially very dangerous to the health of the American republic.
