And the president can invite whoever he wants, but it will not be a National Governors Association event.

No.

The president's been very clear on multiple occasions that he does not want to see me.

So I'm fine with that.

Oh, that's a, I mean, it's a question for President Trump.

I could not give you an answer off top.

I've seen what I've seen just during Black History Month.

I'm glad that he's holding an event now.

I hope he addresses why he thought it was appropriate or funny to do a video calling the former first family that depicted them as apes.

I hope he's willing to speak about the policies

that he has put in place that has made black unemployment in this country spike since he's become the president of the United States.

So I hope to hear that he thinks that black history is worth celebrating and lifting up because I think his policies have not shown that.

Well, I think we've actually got to show up and care about it.

You know, I don't come from a political background in that way, but the thing that I know is that oftentimes there's a state pattern

that takes place when it comes to election time.

It's like, where do democratic candidates go in order to juice their base, right?

So they'll go to the same places with the same lines, talking to the same people and hope that you can get people to show up.

I just don't think that's the answer.

I think that the answer is you go everywhere and you speak to everyone.

And whether they vote for you or not, that's on them, but they can never say that you didn't try.
