1. Before our Zoom even started I was in the virtual waiting room and noticed it was titled "Amy McGrath: Black Male Achievers" in her calendar.
The group that hosted was @BMeCommunity, not BMA.
You know how they say "not all black people look the alike"?
Well.

2. It was titled "BMe Conversation with Amy McGrath" on our calendar invite but was really just her talking, somewhat answering questions we submitted in advance.
3. She kept saying "minorities" or "persons of color" when we were there to have a specific conversation about black issues.
She even responded to a diversity question saying her staff is "33% persons of color" which gives no indication of how many black staff members she has.

I of course asked about reparations. She danced all around the question, never said yes or no. Before she got to this question I texted her staffer who was soliciting questions in our chat, asking if I can follow up on it. She ignored me, twice.
She also ignored my private message on Zoom. She was apparently ignoring others because they ended up just putting questions in the Zoom. Brother @HiJackTheDay eventually just took himself off mute to ask out loud.
I took myself off mute to ask in the same manor. I was muted. Shortly after, at 12:53, her staffer said we were out of time, even though our calendar invite had the event as 1 hour.
Oddly enough this same staffer worked on @Booker4KY& #39;s campaign, and I didn& #39;t realize she worked on Amy& #39;s until the end of the call when she gave us her email with a McGrath domain.
This call was a waste of our time and a slap in the face to Black Kentuckians.
How are we supposed to believe @AmyMcGrathKY will represent our voices in the Senate if she mutes our voices in Zoom?
