Montgomery, a former Republican state official, was pulled onto the stage by the presidential candidate at the end of his speech at a campaign rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday.
With a big smile and joy, Montgomery took the opportunity to tell the crowd that she fully supported Trump for the job — and was afraid of having Harris in the White House.
“The left is trying to present this woman as a savior of the black community, but all she has done is harm the black community since she entered the game,” Montgomery said.
The activist thanked Trump for “saving her historically black college” from closure and said the former president has been a great help to many HBCUs.
She also gave quick press to Conserve the Culture, an organization she founded to recruit college students to historically black colleges and to maintain a community for HCBU alumni.
The founder echoed many of the Trump campaign’s talking points on immigration, election issues and the economy.
The former Republican staffer repeated the same misunderstandings about Harris’ racial identity that Trump did during a heated conversation with the National Association of Black Journalists on Wednesday.
“A few days ago, President Trump said he did not know Vice President Harris was a black woman. I’m trying to find out what all the outrage is about, because she’s only black when she’s elected,” said Montgomery.
Harris attended Howard University, a historically black college in Washington D.C., and has often spoken publicly about her black and indigenous heritage.
“The same black people who are mad at Trump because they are confused about her racePeople, ethnicity, nationality, whatever, are apparently forgetting that although you consider her a savior of black people, she identifies as an Asian woman.”
Trump’s main political points
DONALD Trump closed the Republican National Convention on July 18 by telling his supporters he wanted to become president for “all Americans.”
- Implement tax cuts, including no tax on tips
- Protecting Social Security and Medicare – Trump said ‘incomes will soar and the middle class will prosper like never before’
- Securing the borders – He promised to end the ‘border nightmare’. That means two things on day one: ‘Drill baby Drill’, as he said, and closing the borders
- Finishing the construction of the wall
- Keeping our ‘sons and daughters safe’
- Replenish the military and build a military ‘dome’ – Trump insisted he could stop wars with just a phone call and said no military would be able to penetrate the US if he took office
- End the war in Ukraine and impose tariffs on Iran
- Promising to “beat” China
- Work to lower prices and alleviate inflation
- Reducing the cost of energy
- Making cities “safe, clean and beautiful” again
- Making it possible for Americans to buy gas-powered cars, ending the electric vehicle mandate on the first day of his presidency
“She chose her side and it wasn’t ours,” she said.
The Democratic Party chairman announced that Harris unofficially received enough delegate votes to win the nomination on Friday.
A SCHEDULED SURPRISE
When Trump first introduced Montgomery on Saturday, he recalled how they met by chance at a restaurant and noticed that “she lit up the room.”
The two reportedly met in early April when Trump visited a Chick-fil-A fast-food restaurant after Trump activists tried to organize a meeting between the Republican candidate and black voters, according to the Associated press.
“People find it so hard to believe that there are young black men who would have loved the opportunity to meet Trump,” Montgomery told the AP in spring.
Through her previous work with the Georgia Republican Party, she regularly coordinated events for HBCU students looking to discuss conservative ideas and meet local politicians.
So, when he learned through his network that Trump would come to town, he quickly mobilized a group of students and alumni to meet the former president.
“Everyone got together around 9:30 in the morning and went to Chick-fil-A and then we sat there and waited until the president showed up,” Montgomery said.
The joyful moments were captured in several viral videos on social media.
“It’s really disheartening to see the media make it seem like we just stumbled upon a Chick-fil-A and he bought us milkshakes.”
