Black Voters Challenge House Members: Why Is Trump Still in Office? [Hurl]
NY Times ^ | May 30, 2019 | Sheryl Gay Stolberg

Posted on 05/31/2019 11:32:57 AM PDT by C19fan

Moments after the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, wrapped up his appearance at the Justice Department on Wednesday, Representative Dwight Evans stepped out of his district office in a black working-class neighborhood here to visit with local business owners. They had one question on their minds: Why is President Trump still in office?

Mr. Evans, a Democrat who began calling for Mr. Trump to be impeached long before Mr. Mueller issued his report, was not surprised: “The issue that I hear constantly here is, ‘We sent you for one reason only: to get rid of the president, right? Why haven’t you gotten rid of him yet?’”

In cities around the country, black Democrats like Mr. Evans — and other House members who represent majority-black districts — are hearing much the same from their African-American constituents, as well as from white liberals who have moved into the nation’s urban core. Those views are translating into action on Capitol Hill, where Speaker Nancy Pelosi is under increasing pressure from her rank-and-file to hurry up her time frame for what many see as an inevitable impeachment inquiry.

“The issue that I hear constantly here is, ‘We sent you for one reason only: to get rid of the president, right? Why haven’t you gotten rid of him yet?’”

Translation:
Blacks of all ages are getting jobs and working to support themselves, this Cracker Trump has made it Easier for them to Go to Work, and has significantly improved the Economic Conditions for them. They are Jumping Ship instead of staying on the Plantation and getting their Government Check.

Black men only went 78 percent for hillary.

Black women still 96.

But the guys’ numbers may have well put us over the top in a few states

Cherry-picked black voters determined to remain on the Democratic Plantation. President Trump has done more for blacks as a private citizen and as President than any President before him, with the exception of Republican Abraham Lincoln. And a lot more blacks are going to vote for him in 2020 than did in 2016.

Why are African American voters still so pig-ignorant? That’s the real question.

Dwight Evans!?!?

This article is complete and utter BULLSH!T/FAKE News. Dwight Evan’s constituency couldn’t care less that Trump is President. This completely contrived article is trying to thwart reality that Trump has much larger support in Black Community than any Liberal dare believe.

More losers joining the tribe.

Well, at least he’s honest...about ONE of the reasons he went to Congress. Too bad he can’t be truthful, and tell his constituents the good things POTUS has done for our country. I guess that’s asking waaaaay too much.

Looks like the Loonies are playing the race card by proxy. The numbers in the house don’t support impeachment. Americans don’t want this coup to continue. The slimes are so invested in keeping their leftards out of jail. That they invent “Angry Black Voters” for whom they claim to speak.
The bitter chickens have come to roost.

Some folks seem to think getting the President you personally want is an entitlement, rather than the result of an election by the country as a whole.

Some welfare recipients are outraged that their state may require, GASP! that able-bodied adults may have to work TWENTY HOURS A MONTH!, in order to continue to receive welfare. 5 hours a week! Oh, the pain! Which is obviously Trump’s fault. (Disclaimer -— I am NOT implying all his black constituents are on welfare).

In the fwiw department, Black voters are coming to President Trump every day. Look at the crowds.

And the NYT knows it.

“The issue that I hear constantly here is, ‘We sent you for one reason only: to get rid of the president, right? Why haven’t you gotten rid of him yet?’”

Now, the question they need to ask (and answer at the ballot box) is, "Why haven't we gotten rid of you yet?"

In the words of The Duke, John Wayne ...

I believe in white supremacy, until the blacks
are educated to a point of responsibility.
I don't believe giving authority and positions
of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.
