Taylor has not been shy about her opinions on race and her desire to vote Trump out of office. She directly addressed him in May by saying, “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump.”
