NAACP Absolutely Slams Dr. Phil's 'Hard Work' Claim At Trump MSG Rally
HuffPost
The civil rights organization called on the TV personality to "tell the WHOLE story" after his talk of America's origins.
The NAACP called out Phil McGraw, aka TV’s Dr. Phil, after he declared that America was “built on hard work” at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden campaign rally on Sunday.
McGraw, who endorsed Trump at the rally after interviewing him under the guise of asking “hard questions” earlier this year, said it’s time to push back against “cancel culture” and intimidation tactics before tying it to launching his Merit Street Media company in April.
“We didn’t choose the name for that by random... this country was built on hard work, added value and talent. Not on equal outcome, not on DEI, this country was built on hard work,” the TV personality told the MSG crowd.
The civil rights organization, in a post on X, wasn’t having McGraw’s telling of America’s origins.
“This country was absolutely built on hard work Dr. Phil…on the backs of Black, Brown, and lmmigrants from all across this WORLD! Many of which who were forced to do so! SLAVERY,” the NAACP wrote.
