Could Allen West be America’s First Black President?

LT. COL. ALLEN WEST CONSIDERING 2016 PRESIDENTIAL RUN!

Constitutional conservative, Lt. Col. Allen West, former congressman from Florida, tells Ben Shapiro on “The Morning Answer” that he’s seriously considering a 2016 presidential run. If elected, West, who has rock-star status within much of the Tea Party community, would truly be the first black president, as Barack Obama’s Mother was 100% caucasian.

West appeared with Shapiro on Wednesday to discuss Col. West’s new book, Guardian of the Republic.

Shapiro begins the interview by complimenting West on his new book, but states that, “it also looks a lot like a possible campaign book,” while alluding to the “very strong rumors” that West may be considering running for president in 2016.

“Is there any truth to those rumors?” Shapiro asks.

It’s frustrating when talk show hosts continually ask potential candidates about their political aspirations this time of year, realizing that 99% of the time, the politician avoids giving a direct answer, but this time there was actually an answer that wasn’t a waste of time.

“Well look, the thing is this,” West began. “As I was still on the motorcycle ride across the country, and wherever we’d stop, fuel stop, overnight stop, people would come up and they would ask me that question. And it would be very disrespectful and dismissive of great Americans if I did not step back and take the time to consider it and pray about it and talk over it with close confidants,” West explained, indicating that a presidential run is definitely something he’s seriously considering.

“Am I considering it? Yes, I’m considering it,” West confirmed.
