A black Milwaukee café owner who recently spoke beside former President Donald Trump at a Waukesha rally is a former Biden supporter who was driven into Trump’s arms by Bidenomics.
Shana Gray is her name, and she’s the owner of Gray Jett Café, a restaurant on the campus of Marquette University.
Appearing on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” this Friday, Gray explained exactly why she’d spoken out at the Trump rally days earlier.
Listen:
“I just pretty much put a plea out there to the administration which I voted for to let them know that I am a struggling business owner, and I’m just looking for change to pretty much help me and people of my community,” she said.
She went on to explain how she’s been overhearing her customers talk incessantly about their economic struggles under President Joe Biden.
“Understand my café was created to be a community space to provide not just good vegan food, but a very safe space for people to come and have conversations of things and topics that are affecting them,” she said.
“And one the number one topics that is affecting them was inflation and how a lot of them are feeling anxious and don’t know about tomorrow and making decisions at the gas pump and at the grocery store of how they’re going to take care of their families. And I resonated with that as well,” she added.
So when she was given a chance to speak at a Trump rally on behalf of her “community,” she took it.
“So I was given an opportunity to have a platform to speak up not only for myself but others in my community, which is an array of people, whether black, brown, Latino, Asian, white Americans, all of us, who are suffering,” she said. “And we have these conversations, and we speak about how we need change, so I took that opportunity.”
During her discussion with host Laura Ingraham, she was also asked to respond to a speech Biden had delivered about black people achieving the American dream.
“He said some great things, but I have to say that, as a person that is being very much so affected by the changes currently in the economy, such as things like inflation, it’s kind of hard to see that dream that he spoke of,” Gray said in response.
It was also revealed during the interview that she’s had to endure hateful messages and one psycho “storm[ing]” her café because of her Trump rally appearance.
Speaking of her rally appearance, which occurred Friday, while there the former president praised her business and also described her economic woes.
Listen:
“It’s supposed to be really good,” he said of her restaurant. “I’m not into the vegan stuff I must say, but I’m going to have to try this. When we come here in a short period of time, into Milwaukee, we’re going to come and try that vegan food. I don’t know if I’m going to like it.”
“Shana says her business is being brutalized by the soaring cost of food. She’s never seen anything like it. And right now she says things just aren’t working. She was doing great three and a half years ago. She was doing better than she ever did. ‘During the Trump years,’ she said, ‘I was able to afford things. I wasn’t worried about my future. I am now,’” he added.
Given a chance to speak for herself, Gray called for change.
“It is very important that we change what is going on now,” she said at the rally. “None of us can continue what is going with the Biden administration. We need Trump in 2024, so make sure you vote Trump in 2024.”
In remarks made before the official start of the rally, Gray also reportedly called out the migrant crisis.
“Just recently I had a migrant come into my café that recently passed through the borders and paid for their food with one of the prepaid cards they were given,” she said. “How is that as a slap in the face as a proud American who worked hard, just like each one of you?”
“And to be affected by the food costs, utility costs, to have someone just come and just willy nilly pay for their food, in my café, with prepaid dollars that was funded by us,” she added.
