Economist Nukes WashPost Claim Trump Economy ‘Left Black Americans Behind’
NewsBusters ^ | 1/26/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 01/26/2021 10:09:50 AM PST by JV3MRC

The Washington Post tried to push propaganda that former President Donald Trump’s economy was terrible for minorities. One economist set the paper straight.

The Post’s story online was outrageously headlined, “The Trump economy left Black Americans behind. Here’s how they want Biden to narrow the gaps.” The print headline was even worse: “Left behind in Trump’s economy, Black voters want bold action from Biden.” Both were wrong.

The piece pivoted off of its incendiary anti-Trump bent to say “Black Americans” are now “counting on [President Joe Biden] to deliver on his promise to end systemic racism” in the American economy. The newspaper said that “Trump presided over the most unequal recession in modern American history because of his mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic.” Economist and co-founder of the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Daniel Mitchell told the MRC that this piece by The Post was “a shockingly biased and intellectually dishonest story.”

Flat out lying.

The lowest unemployment rate for them in recorded history with growing wages is not being “left behind.”

All that matters is how many times a lie is told. Low info voters get their “news” from liberal media who do nothing but lie, creating an alternate reality which the low info people gobble up .ike candy. He left create the “New Truth” out of lies and defeat.

Sadly the right in gov abide by all of the “New Rules” as dictated by the lying left, because the right in congress fear making the left angry, who will then go on a media blitz campaign of further nasty vile lefties lies and deceit

The man of lawlessnessdoes appear to be gaining strength these days

Trump will not be a willing punching bag like Bush was....Bush was happy to be blamed and despised after he left office...Bush loves to do the Uniparty jig...Trump has a great record and he’ll defend it....they can slander the man, but his record speaks for itself

Next up, the Washington Post explains how Trump not getting us into any new wars created more global racial injustice

“I think the American public has a real good, clear look who they are … they’re part of the big lie.”

Joe Biden

(Of course, that’s not what he was referring to.)

I guess that black Americans don't understand that their votes were automated by the Democrat party in the swing states, and that they ain't getting nothing from here on out.

After all, how much do you have to pay Demonion voting robots?  winking face

While Black voters overwhelmingly chose Biden, with 87 percent casting their ballots for him, 12 percent voted for Donald Trump, up slightly from 8 percent in 2016.

Cant even do math. 12 percent of African American vote is damn high, not to mention that Trump got at least 20% of male AA vote.

“12 percent of African American vote is damn high”

Yes, comparatively. Especially when it’s 50% higher for the same candidate from 4 years before.

STABBING HECTOR’S CORPSE
Love Dr. Hanson’s “stuff”. Love it even more now that I know we share a common trait: Apparently, in his haste to get his “stuff” out there, he misses typos. A device to convince his readers that he really is human? Quien sabe??
Anyway, just read and savor the good doctor’s wisdom. https://amgreatness.com/2021/01/20/stabbing-hectors-corpse/
