Last week, Steve Harvey met with Donald Trump and according to reports was placed on a call with Housing and Urban Development nominee Dr. Ben Carson. Once out of the meeting, Harvey said his meeting was a successful one.
Many people were very critical and unhappy with Harvey's meeting, taking to social media outlets to voice their frustrations. Since then, Steve Harvey took to his morning show to say how hurt he was by comments made on his meeting with Trump. Harvey said "On a personal note, a lot of y'all hurt me. I didn't expect the backlash to be so fierce. I also understand if I'm going to keep getting stabbed at, at least while you're stabbing me, you should understand my intent. I'm from the hood. I've been putting in the work for years. I care about these inner cities because that's where I'm from."
Harvey said the reasoning behind him meeting with Trump was spawned by Barack Obama's final address, where he said, "The only way we can heal the divide in this country is through conversation."
