Black Trump supporter claims he was called a ‘slave’ by right-wing organization he was canvassing for​

EXCLUSIVE: Carl Baxter, a MAGA fan who heads up a county Republican club in Florida, is suing the Koch Brothers’ Americans for Prosperity over alleged discrimination​

A die-hard Trumper in Florida says he was discriminated against by a right-wing political advocacy group, claiming he was called a “slave” during his 12 days with the organization before it fired him for complaining.

Carl Baxter, who is Black, is suing Americans for Prosperity, the nonprofit “grassroots” conservative operation established by Charles and David Koch, the billionaire siblings and hard-line climate change deniers.

Baxter serves as president of the Republican Club of North & East Fort Myers, and is not at all shy about his outsized affection for Donald Trump. He can be seen on social media at Trump appearances, waving a MAGA flag at a “Trump Truck Parade,” at charity galas giving the camera a Trumpian “thumbs-up,” and donning a red MAGA hat and posing with, among others, a county tax collector who has come out as a vociferous opponent of critical race theory.

Baxter’s lawsuit, which was filed Monday and obtained by The Independent, describes him as “an African-American businessman who is active in local politics.” It says he was brought on by AFP in June 2023 to work as a part-time “grassroots associate.” Baxter’s duties “consisted of canvassing neighborhoods to talk with voters about AFP-selected policy issues and driving to and from those neighborhoods,” according to the suit.

AFP agreed to pay Baxter $20 an hour for the door-knocking duties, plus an unspecified mileage reimbursement, the lawsuit states. He started on June 14, 2023, and his job performance, according to the suit, “was exemplary.”

However, the lawsuit says Baxter quickly became disenchanted with AFP.

“Early in Plaintiff’s tenure, AFP’s Deputy Director [of] Grassroots… met Plaintiff at the Oasis restaurant in downtown Ft. Myers and offered Plaintiff $500 in bribe money to provide ‘dirt’ on Cape Coral councilmember, Patty Cummings,” the suit alleges. “Plaintiff declined. AFP’s goal was to stop President Donald J. Trump from winning the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential primaries and, locally, to oppose politicians who support President Trump.”

Buckels, who is white, according to Baxter’s suit, “then proceeded to call [him] a ‘slave’ and demanded that he confirm he is a ‘slave,’ stating as follows: ‘I know you are doing the work and I can see the doors that you are hitting on my iPad on my side. At least you are working as a slave (sarcastically) but at least you are getting paid, many slaves today do get paid, many used to never get paid. Are you a slave?’”

Baxter was “highly offended,” and “demanded to speak with Ms. Buckels’ immediate supervisor,” the lawsuit goes on. Buckels then arranged a conference call with her boss, who is also white, according to the suit, to discuss Baxter’s concerns. A few minutes later, the supervisor called back, with AFP’s state operations director on the line — a white woman, the lawsuit says — and “terminated Plaintiff’s employment without notice, effective immediately.”

The lawsuit says Baxter still has not received the wages AFP owes him, nor has he been paid back for any of his mileage. By the same token, Baxter claims in his suit that AFP paid its white employees without issue. The suit accuses AFP of race discrimination, retaliation, and wage theft, and demands back pay and legal fees, as well as exemplary, punitive, and compensatory damages “for Plaintiff’s emotional pain and suffering.”

An AFP spokesperson told The Independent, “While we do not comment on current litigation, we take all allegations of violations of the law extremely seriously and will fully investigate those made in this complaint.”

Baxter’s attorney, Jay Lechter, told The Independent, “My client simply wants justice and to ensure that this does not happen to anyone else.”

A source with direct knowledge of the situation noted that Baxter was technically working for AFP as a contractor, and said AFP was not in fact his direct employer.

Buckels did not respond to a request for comment.

You dont even get her first name

If black people moved in similar fashion, always looked out and protected each other.

We would move literal mountains.
