Detroit rapper Icewear Vezzo criticized the Democratic Party on Thursday for how it disrespects Americans through “pandering” and manipulation.

Democrats, such as Democratic strategist James Carville and President Joe Biden, have alleged former President Donald Trump is racist. Vezzo, on “The Breakfast Club” radio show, said Democrats allege “racism” as a manipulation tactic to pander and expressed skepticism about the accusations.

“I don’t like the way the Democrats are. I don’t. I just don’t — not them individually, but more so as a whole. As a party, I don’t like it,” Vezzo said. “I don’t like the pandering. I feel like it’s extremely disrespectful. I think they intellectually manipulate us with strong words like racism, stuff like that. I just want to be told the truth. I want to deal with people to where as what you see is what you get. I want to know who you are on and off camera.”

“Do I think Trump is racist? I don’t know … How would I know? How do any of us know if the man is racist? I don’t want to go off of what somebody is telling me,” he added. “Because every time I was told anyone said something or done something, and I went and did the research myself, it was taken out of context or it wasn’t that, you know what I mean?”

Fact-checking website Snopes in June issued a correction for the infamous “very fine people” line Trump used seven years following violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the removal of a Confederate General Robert E. Lee statue. Democrats accused Trump of calling neo-Nazis and white supremacists “very fine people” by taking the former president’s remarks out of context.

“In a news conference after the rally protesting the planned removal of a Confederate statue, Trump did say there were ‘very fine people on both sides,’ referring to the protesters and the counterprotesters. He said in the same statement he wasn’t talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who he said should be ‘condemned totally,’” Snopes wrote.

Biden used the Charlottesville incident as the predicate launching his 2020 presidential campaign. The first two words Biden uttered in his announcement video were “Charlottesville, Virginia,” before he quoted Trump’s “very fine people on both sides” remark without context, CNN reported.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
