Howard Fuller, a civil rights activist and education reform advocate, explained why he describes himself as a “single issue voter” in a powerful takedown of Donald Trump on Wednesday.
“My single issue is Donald Trump,” said Fuller during an episode of “#RolandMartinUnfiltered” filmed before a crowd in Milwaukee. “He is the most despicable ass human being walking the face of the earth and all of y’all out here talking about 3 cents for gas. This man wants to destroy your personhood.”
Fuller later said the GOP nominee “is a white supremacist who is trying to destroy everything that we have fought for over the last 50 years.”
“And I ain’t got time to explain to you every damn detail about policy,” said the civil rights activist.
“This man cannot be the president of the United States. We can talk about policy after we defeat his ass. You feeling me?”

He told host Roland Martin that he was trying to “drag people out” to vote for Kamala Harris in the battleground state, adding that those in the audience need to “identify” a potential vote for the vice president with the election just days away.
“Because if I’m taking somebody to the polls who is talking about ‘undecided,’ I’m dropping their ass off at the curb,” said Fuller, who noted that the election is no longer a “conventional” matter of having a “discussion” about the candidates.
He proceeded to praise students at his namesake public charter high school that he co-founded for voting before calling on the audience to be proud of Black people who have made such an effort.

“We can’t get down on ourselves. This is the time to get up on ourselves. This is the time to talk about what we’re going to do,” Fuller said.
He continued, “This is the time to say we owe it to the people who died in the Mississippi Freedom Summer, we owe it to Fannie Lou Hamer, we owe it to them, we owe it to Polly Williams, we owe it to Vel Phillips, we owe it to all these people and more important, we owe it to ourselves to vote at this moment in history and we can do this. We can do this.”
