College campuses aren’t safe spaces for conservatives, and especially not for Donald Trump supporters who are black.
NBC DC’s Shomari Stone talked to Nathalie Harrod on the campus of American University on Wednesday, where Hillary Clinton backers were raging and burning an American flag.
Black woman at @AmericanU says students call her a “race traitor” because she voted for #Trump.

The confident, unabashed Trump supporter said, “I voted for Donald Trump because culturally, I think Americans are pushing back and saying, we want a more libertarian society, we want a more open society where we can express ourselves however we want.
“We’ve been kind of marred by the PC culture that’s coming in and saying, we control what you say, how you say it and to who you say it and I think people are taking issue with that as a whole,” Harrod said.
She added she is pro-life and supports the Second Amendment, which led her to support Trump.
“From the left, I’ve definitely received a lot of criticism,” Harrod said.
“I definitely hear that I’m a ‘race traitor’ at least once a day, I’ve been told that I hate myself today about 20 times, that I don’t think of myself as black, that I’m white, etc., etc.,” she told the news station.
