She was at a famous restaurant in Harlem that is known for its soul food.

When I run for president, is the media going to complain if I eat potatoes?

As of this writing, Evans’ tweet had a ratio of 963 responses to just 33 likes, a sure sign that his tweet caused offense, whether he intended to or not.

20-something who hadn't gotten out much. But no, he's a 57-year old man who decided to police what a female candidate was eating. In this case, waffles and fried chicken.

Really?

Makes me recall those endless comments about Hillary and Hot Sauce.

LOL! Some people just never-ever learn. He deserves to be pilloried.

on food trends. He doesn't seem to realize that fried chicken and waffles is on the menu of may, many restaurants, including expensive ones that riff on the concept poorly.

Since the fried chicken and waffles thing started in restaurants with a clientele in the AA community, Dave Evans appears to have been accusing Kamala Harris of cultural appropriation, in an attempt to demonstrate that she isn't, really, you know..."black."

Dave Evans is a dumbass, who got this all wrong in several ways. He needs to get out more, I think.
