Prominent Biden ally Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) lashed out at former President Donald Trump over remarks about “Black jobs” that have long gone viral among outraged Trump critics, particularly Black folks.

All through Thursday evening’s debate, Trump made this baseless declare about “Black jobs”:

As certain as you’re sitting there, actually that his big kill on the Black people is the millions of people that he’s allowed to return in throughout the border. They’re taking Black jobs now and it may be 18. It is usually 19 and even 20 million people. They’re taking Black jobs and so they’re taking Hispanic jobs and also you haven’t viewed it but, but you’re going to peer one thing that’s going to be the worst in our history.

The observation went viral and spawned memes on X/Twitter and the cultural substrata often called Black Twitter.

On Sunday morning’s model of CNN’s State of the Union, host Dana Bash asked Clyburn for his reaction, and Clyburn let Trump have it:

DANA BASH: I need to quickly provide the opportunity to respond to one thing that Donald Trump mentioned on the debate stage about undocumented migrants, undocumented immigrants, moderately.

DONALD TRUMP: They’re taking Black jobs now. And it may be 18, it may be 19 and even 20 million folks. They’re taking Black jobs they usually’re taking Hispanic jobs.

DANA BASH: What’s your reaction to that?

REP. JAMES CLYBURN: It’s– Joe Biden has been speaking about this. He’s been to the the opposite evening. Donald Trump is being Donald Trump. He has an extraordinarily, very, very low opinion of individuals of coloration– Black, brown, whatever shade. He has a low opinion of Black people.

He’s established that every one of his life. And I want to hear from some of his Black supporters why they are going to not have these discussions about what this man has accomplished, to Black ladies, what this man has accomplished to young Black formative years and what he has executed to his personal companies relating to Black individuals.

I’ve talked to Reverend Sharpton. He informed me he’s been inside and out of his businesses and by no means has viewed a Black person in any of them.

How do you simply supply this man a pass on all of that? Examine his hiring information to Joe Biden’s hiring records, and then that additionally give you some indication of what it will be going forward.

So what he mentioned the opposite night time about Black jobs meant to me that there are certain jobs for Black people, and there are particular jobs for white people, there are certain jobs for white individuals, and there are particular jobs, for non white people.

And these people coming in shall be taking those jobs, that are for non white individuals, never mind, them being a chance to those jobs for the rest of us.

Watch above by the use of CNN’s State of the Union.
