From CNN: Trump called him 'my African-American.' His life hasn't been the same since:
His troubles began when he attended a rally by then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in Redding, California, in June 2016... Trump went into an extended riff about a Black supporter who had assaulted an anti-Trump protester at an Arizona rally. Trump wondered aloud where his supporter was when [Gregory] Cheadle decided to play along and shouted, "I'm here!"
"Oh, look at my African-American over here," Trump responded with a smile...

"Man, I did it for a joke," [Cheadle] says now. "When I did it, people around me burst out laughing." He sighs before adding: "Then the joke turned sour."

He left the Republican Party last year because of what he describes as its "pro-white agenda" and Trump's inflammatory racial rhetoric.
