Black Caucus rejects Trump invitation for WH meeting
The Hill ^ | June 21, 2017 | John Bowden

Posted on 06/21/2017 4:33:24 PM PDT by EveningStar

The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) on Wednesday rejected President Trump's invitation for the 49-member group to join him at the White House for a meeting, citing his unresponsiveness on previous attempts at policy engagement as proof that Trump isn't interested in working with the members beyond a photo op.

I beg to differ. I say they are too self-centered and greedy. If they meet with Trump they give the impression that they give a bleep about working to improve the lives of their constituents. They don’t; so they won’t. They’re too busy sucking the gubmint teat. IMHO.

Playing around with lighting levels and contrast can make anyone look unhealthy. Any idea who took the pic?

There are plenty of appropriate words for them.

These racist morons probably have a problem with it being a white house.

They have no idea of their foolishness and their hubris towards their own communities. Have your Freepers been following in detail the Apprenticeship Movement being forwarded by PDJT with the help of his daughter Ivanka? I have in detail, and without getting into the weeds I am seeing it 1st hand with a program that is about to be launched in Detroit. Does this Caucus see how this can help their constituents? Does anyone know the dire need for skilled tradesmen and entry level type jobs in IT, Medical and Art to Part (CAD-CAM) etc that is a natural fit pull your self up by the bootstraps jobs? Do you think this might come up in when he meets this group @ the Whitehouse?

Shameful...

GOOD!! They are too DUMB to even TRY to help their own people and communities! SCREW THEM!

They are probably more interested in their own self aggrandizement. I don't think those rat bastards care beans about anyone but themselves. SCREW THEM!

This is just a bad picture. It happens to everyone. Don’t worry. Trump knows what he is doing, though too many are attacking him and are trying to bring him down.

If you really want a white caucus, you don’t belong on a conservative forum.

So long as our government recognizes the CBC, a CWC should be recognized as well. I'm sick and tired of being a second class citizen because of the color of my skin!

You don't like it?......dove non batte il sole!

Big mistake, CBC. Mr Trump will go out and find some new leaders to replace you. Leaders who are interested in helping your people, the people in your community.

At first I was shocked at how pale Trump looked.

Then I realized that is NOT how he looks IRL, ever.

Liberals mock him for being orange.

They really bleached him out in the picture. He even has almost white hair.

I'm curious what liberal "news" organization tampered with the pick to make Trump look bad.

Pres. Trump graciously extended a hand to the CBC to be part of the solution, but in their childish, self centered greed they continue to be a big part of the problem.

BIG MISTAKE — VERY SAD TO SEE!

Similar to the Black Students Union. Ever heard of a White Students Union? I did not think so.

Hypocritical dumbasses of the first order. These slimy toads turn down the President's offer to meet and work together, because he won't work with them?

Such hateful people.

Good, Trump’s time would be better spent on the golf course.
