In a powerful turn of events, Michael ‘Harry-O’ Harris, the legendary founder of Death Row Records, took the stage at Madison Square Garden during former President Donald Trump’s rally, publicly endorsing him and expressing gratitude for his freedom. Harris, who spent 33 years in prison for a non-violent offense, credits Trump for his release and second chance at life.
“If it wasn’t for Donald Trump, I wouldn’t be standing here today. So I want to thank President Donald Trump for allowing me to stand in front of you here today,” Harris told the enthusiastic crowd, drawing a significant response. Harris’s remarks not only spotlight his own journey but also underscore Trump’s criminal justice reform initiatives, which led to the release of many non-violent offenders who had been given extreme sentences.
Since his release, Harris has emerged as a community leader, fighting for underprivileged people in his hometown and beyond. His endorsement adds a notable voice from the entertainment industry to Trump’s base, highlighting the impact Trump’s policies have had on individuals seeking a fresh start. Many conservatives point to Harris’s story as a testament to Trump’s approach: second chances for those who have paid their dues and want to positively contribute to society, contrasting it with policies they see as overly lenient towards violent offenders.
Harris’s message rings particularly true for those who feel America’s justice system should be focused on both accountability and redemption. As Trump continues to pick up unexpected endorsements, his message of reform and fair treatment continues to resonate across diverse communities.
