US Presidential Hopeful Tom Steyer Wears Kenyan-Made Belt in TV Ad, Says it is His Favorite
The TV ad for 2020 US Democratic presidential candidate Thomas Steyer has him wearing a Kenyan-made belt.
The billionaire-cum-political activist says the belt, made of leather and decorated with beads, is his favorite after he was asked its significance by a twitter user identified @SeasonBee.
“I have seen a LOT of @TomSteyer ads but none of them have explained this belt,” @SeasonBee tweeted.
Responding to him, Steyer said he bought the belt during one of his visits to Kenya, adding that it reminds him that the world benefits when women are educated, as the belt was made by female artisans.
“Thanks for noticing my favorite belt! I bought it on a trip to Kenya from female artisans,” he tweeted.
“I wear it as a reminder not to be so formal, and also as a symbol that the world is a better place when we educate women and girls,” he mentioned.
Steyer is one of the candidates in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries.

This is just a distraction. How many Kenyan men ware American accessories (belts) and it's not news. Why is it news ? Kenyans are not interested in every detail that happens in a foreign land and especially the colonizers world. This is psychology of holding someone as superior to the " so called black men". It's not working. Find better news to report.

How ridiculous to rent a non-rental home to a co-conspirator of WHE's climate change excuse to overthrow our government! Is this rental out of range as a gift? Who's watching this whole Biden family vacation off out tax money? Why has AirForce One become the Biden's personal family plane?
