Stevens claimed concerns among Trump supporters about potential election fraud are “100% about race” because they center on diverse cities in swing states.

“It has been from the beginning. Where are all these suspect votes? Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta. What do they have in common? High percentage of African American voters. Those that voted not to certify those elections were basically trying to disenfranchise millions and millions of Black voters. It’s that simple,” he said.

The strategist went on to claim Trump supporters could turn to violence and perhaps even “burn down” voting centers to create chaos and disrupt the election. Stevens said people should “anticipate” such behavior.
