***Warning Offensive Language***
Antoine Tucker is an African American Republican running against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her New York Congressional seat.
Tucker filed his candidacy in early June 2019 and introduces himself on a video on his campaign website as “the first ex-felon that’s Black and Hispanic to run for Congress in the history of this nation.” Hey, AOC was a bartender.
He earned a GED in prison and went on to own a tattoo shop in Brooklyn called Top Shelf Ink.
Tucker is a staunch Trump supporter and his top priority is education reform. He visualizes a system where parents can take the same classes as students, and teachers can hold parents accountable: “Children have potential and it is evident when parents are involved. The lack of parental reinforcement at home for poor behavior/attendance would allow teachers to issue referrals to the school guidance counselor so parents can receive assistance with communication skills and other needs.”
President Trump retweeted Tucker’s latest rant. Warning he uses the f-bomb a few times.
