Cincinnati EnquirerView CommentsCOLUMBUS – If there were&nbsp;any question that Columbus Rep. Bernadine Kennedy Kent was on the outs with Ohio Democrats, it was clear Tuesday when she announced her support of President Donald Trump.Kennedy Kent and her husband James Whitaker greeted Trump aboard Air Force One in Cleveland ahead of Tuesday night's debate, according to a pool report. Kennedy Kent, who is Black, publicly announced her endorsement of Trump earlier in the day, citing low unemployment rates among Black Americans and increased support for historically black colleges and universities.&nbsp;&nbsp;"We all recognize that gainful employment and economic development is the best deterrent against violence and social unrest,&nbsp;so I want to thank President Trump for his commitment to ensuring the success of the Black community in every way," Kennedy Kent said in a news release.Kennedy Kent, a two-term lawmaker,&nbsp;was &nbsp;after she sent a letter on Ohio Legislative Black Caucus letterhead without permission. She hasn't been to the Statehouse since May 2019, she has continued to serve constituents from home.Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper said the endorsement does not reflect the strong support among Ohio Democrats for Joe Biden."She basically hasn't been involved with the party or her Statehouse job for a long time," Pepper said. "This is the first I've heard of her in a while.&nbsp;Obviously she checked out of her public position a long time ago."Kennedy Kent, who is not running for&nbsp;re-election this year, said "muddied mistreatment and unlawful action" against her by the House Democrats drove her away from the party."Following my traumatic experience&nbsp;on May 22nd&nbsp;caught on Statehouse security video, my&nbsp;husband proclaimed his intent to vote for President Trump and walked away from the Democrat Party," she said. "After considering this scarring event, as well as other&nbsp;negative experiences in my legislative career, I, along with other citizens, came to the conclusion that the Democrat Party does not have the people’s best interest in mind."&nbsp;View Comments
