Critics Baffled By Trump's 'Black Jobs' Remarks At Debate: 'What The F**k Is' That?

Former President Donald Trump sparked confusion and shock among debate viewers on Thursday when he referred to Black jobs while he criticized President Joe Biden s immigration policies.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee claimed that his opponents big kill on the Black people was allowing millions of people to enter America via the border.

Theyre taking Black jobs now and it could be 18, it could be 19 and even 20 million people, Trump said.

Theyre taking Black jobs and theyre taking Hispanic jobs and you havent seen it yet but youre gonna see something thats going to be the worst in our history, he added.

Trumps evidence-free, false claim didnt sit well with Black lawmakers such as Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), who noted that shes one of less than 60 Black women who have been sworn in to Congress.

Im assuming Trump doesnt think my job is a black job, but MY BLACK TAIL will be up early to do the work of my amazing & beautiful coalition of people that make up TX-30! Crockett wrote of her district  on X, formerly Twitter.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) also posted on X to question Trump, writing , I still dont understand the black job comment, it would have been nice if there was a follow up to understand what he was trying to say.

Adrianne Shropshire, executive director of BlackPAC, told Reuters that Trumps comment sparked a hilarious meme all across Black Twitter and it showed him failing to connect with Black voters.

That there are specific Black jobs for Black people that immigrants are coming to take. Utter nonsense, she said.
