Black Celebs You Didn’t Know Were Republicans

We all know the typical, loud Republicans like Stacey Dash and Ben Carson. But there are some celebrities who hide their conservatism. These Black Republicans don’t put their politics on blast (for the most part). So who are they? And are they voting for Trump? We hope not!

The Rock – He’s been a registered Republican since 2000 even though he’s been doing SNL skits posing as Barack Obama.

Karl Malone – Not only is this Worst Father Ever award recipient a Republican, he’s on the board at the NRA.

LL Cool J – He’s never formally declared himself Republican but he’s supported candidates over the years.

Bishop TD Jakes – No Comment.

Wilt Chamberlain – He was a huge Republican…but this also happened back in the day when the party was somewhat different.
