Any self-respecting Black man in his position would take pride in doing all he can to stop Trump and his MAGA confederates from dragging Black civil rights and women’s reproductive rights back to the 1950s.

Evidently, Patrick didn’t learn from MJ’s infamous “Republicans buy sneakers too” mistake. Mind you, more than fearing a MAGA backlash if he endorses Harris, Patrick should fear a Democratic backlash if he doesn’t. It’s a damn shame he’s selling out just to cash in.
