SHS's LIE about "only 195,000 jobs for African-Americans under Obama" really pisses me off.

Somehow, they keep thinking they can get away with this shit, and Sanders pouts and moans when she's called a liar and doesn't get served at the Red Hen.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders falsely claimed that President Donald Trump has created three times as many jobs for black workers as his predecessor Barack Obama did during his entire time in office.

Sanders asserted at a White House press briefing Tuesday that Trump had tripled Obama’s eight-year job creation record in just 18 months, quoting numbers that are not even close to accurate.

“This president since he took office, in the year and a half that he’s been here has created 700,000 new jobs for African-Americans,” Sanders told reporters Tuesday. “That’s 700,000 African-Americans that are working now that weren’t working when this president took place. When President Obama left, after eight years in office, he had only created 195,000 jobs for African-Americans.”

The claim isn’t true, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. While the U.S. economy has added about 700,000 jobs held by black workers since Trump took office, it added about 3 million while Obama was in office, according to BLS data.

The whole bunch of them are racist shits who have got to go.

Sanders said Manigault-Newman has no credibility and called her claims outrageous. She went on to disseminate the false statistics about the first black president’s job-creation record.

She's a disgusting liar. I hope someone challenges her tomorrow, or whenever she holds another press briefing.

She's stopped doing them everyday, apparently to avoid being questioned on all of trump's lies and problems.

.... by King Orange and lowering the numbers by Obama. The purpose is to say see I created jobs for Blacks but Obama created only 1/3 that amount. So if you want Black families to do better income wise then trDump is the man to vote for in the midterms 2018 and the presidential in 2020.
trDump employs Blacks so they can provide for their family,... Obama and Dems can't provide jobs or get the economy going and do well.

trDump thinks the Blacks will all magically just switch parties and all now vote Rethug because he is such a good president for Blacks and Hispanics
