Singer John Legend did not hold back when he was asked about his thoughts on the 2024 presidential election — and one candidate in particular.

“He is a tried and true, dyed-in-the-wool racist,” Legend told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Sunday, referring to Donald Trump.

“He has made it clear throughout his life that he believes Black people are inferior,” Legend added. “Like, he believes that, to his core, in his bones.”

Legend — who confirmed he will campaign for President Joe Biden this year — said Trump “clearly believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity” that is “racially determined.”

In part pointing to a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill that he signed into law in 2018, Trump has claimed that he’s done more for Black Americans than “any other president since Abraham Lincoln and maybe including Abraham Lincoln” — something Legend slammed.

“He wouldn’t let us live in his buildings back in the day. … When we protested the killing of George Floyd, he was advocating for the military to shoot us in the streets,” Legend said. “I don’t want to hear what [Trump] has to say about what he’s done for Black people. He’s done very little for us.”
