The other Black politician who says he was with Trump in that near-fatal chopper crash
The man who almost crashed in a helicopter with Donald Trump told POLITICO Trump confused him with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown — despite the former president’s repeated insistence it was Brown.
It was Nate Holden, a former city councilmember and state senator from Los Angeles, who said in an exclusive interview late Friday that he remembers the near-death experience well. He and others believe it happened sometime in 1990.
“Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco,” Holden said. “I’m a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles.”
“I guess we all look alike,” Holden told POLITICO, letting out a loud laugh.
Res said Trump liked to tell a joke about Holden on the helicopter — “you turned white,” he said. But she said it was Trump’s face that was white.
“He was white as snow,” Holden added. “And he was scared shitless.”
You know what I would call a guy who thinks all black people look alike?
Weird. I'd call him weird.
Also weird that his running mate fucks couches, but that's a whole other issue.
Wtf kind of headline is that?
There were stories going around about how Trump claimed to have been in an emergency helicopter landing with Willie Brown, the (Black) former mayor of San Francisco. Willie Brown denied this.
So...I actually think the headline makes sense, and is kinda funny, but the context is definitely important --- Trump confuses a short Black politician from SF with a tall Black politician from LA.
I think if I had a near death experience I would remember who I shared it with. The cognitive decline is awful to watch. So sad
