A White gospel singer is regretting putting up an inflammatory pro-Trump social media post after it upset and isolated a huge chunk of her of African-American fan base.
Stellar Award-nominated songstress Vicki Yohe received a firestorm of criticism online after suggesting that President Donald J. Trump brought Jesus back to the White House. The offense has led to a slew of attacks and even cancellations of ministry dates.
On Sunday, Jan. 22, Yohe, 51, posted a photo depicting a White version of Jesus carrying suitcases with these words superimposed: “On My Way Back to the White House.”
To really drive her point home, the “Because of Who You Are” singer captioned the image with a strong message to millions of Women’s March supporters: “March all you want, protest all you want. President DONALD J. TRUMP is our President for at least 4 years, no weapon formed against him will prosper!”
It was all downhill from there.
Quickly, fans expressed their displeasure, anger and shock, with some even accusing the woman who told NPR she sings at “98 percent black churches and only two percent white” ministries, of being racist.
