GOP Rep. West Urges Black Voters to Follow ‘Underground Railroad’ Away From Democrats

But West, the only Republican member of the CBC, told Fox News the Democratic  Party as a whole has let black voters down.

“You have this 21st-century plantation that has been out there. Where the  Democrat Party has forever taken the black vote for granted and you have  established certain black leaders who are nothing more than the overseers of  that plantation. And now the people on that plantation are upset because they’ve  been disregarded, disrespected and their concerns are not cared about,” West  said.

“So I’m here as the modern-day Harriet Tubman to kind of lead people on the  underground railroad away from that plantation into a sense of  sensibility.”

West said Democrats’ “social welfare policies” have failed.
