White wrote on Tulsi Gabbard in the 2020 presidential election, but is now a strong supporter of Donald Trump.

In an interview with the New York Times, he told opinion writer Michelle Goldberg that he wasn’t interested in being asked about his support for people like Alex Jones.

‘Why are liberal white women in this country so intent on telling black men in America what we should and shouldn’t think?’

He believes himself to be a revolutionary who could be putting his life in danger for his opinions.

“You may not know it as a writer, but I guarantee your superiors know exactly how intellectually dangerous I am,” he said. “They know exactly how politically dangerous I am.”

He once even wrote with a marker on his head “Alex Jones was right” and “Deep State” during a BIG3 basketball game in 2022.

“Every time a black man appears who is competent in philosophical, political, spiritual, social and economic issues, they start planning how they are going to kill him,” he added.

White says he’s not that different from the man who led the BLM marches in 2020, adding that the “nationalist populist movement that has emerged around and with Donald Trump and other individuals like Steve Bannon rejects how corporate America and the corporate elite and “The permanent political class has functioned for several decades.”

The 2024 race is White’s second foray into partisan politics, after unsuccessfully trying to beat the Republican congressional candidate in Ilhan Omar’s district in 2022.

After losing the 2022 House primary, White had a 5 a.m. outing at the Gold Rush Cabaret, about 1,800 miles from the House race he was running in.

He paid the Miami-based totally naked strip club $1,232 into the campaign account that night, according to 2022 FEC filings. The filings were first noted by the Daily Beast.

White told DailyMail.com he did not remember the night at the strip club, but believed his team had “used the wrong card” and was in the process of refunding the campaign.

White has often criticized the political system as “corrupt,” but thousands of dollars went to limousine services and fancy hotels in Florida, far from his race in Minnesota.

White had brief stints in Canada’s National Basketball League and Ice Cube’s Big3 basketball league.

White lost the Republican primary to Cicely Davis and faces competition from banker and retired naval veteran Joe Fraser in the Senate primary.

White’s campaign is a long shot: He has $10,000 on hand compared to Klobuchar’s $6 million, and DailyMail.com has learned that national Republicans are staying away from him. But he has the backing of the state Republican Party.
