Abstract

The article focuses on the controversy surrounding a viral video in which David Hilliard, former chief of staff of the Black Panther Party, appeared to endorse former President Donald Trump. Hilliard’s grandson, Eric Jones, disputed the video's portrayal, stating that Hilliard does not support Trump and suffers from cognitive issues that limit his current awareness. The video, originally posted by Carol Mitchell on TikTok, showed Hilliard speaking positively about Trump based on past acquaintance, but Jones condemned the video as misleading and threatened legal action to have it removed. Jones emphasized that Hilliard’s comments referred only to the past and did not reflect support for Trump’s present political stance.
