GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky on Friday came out swinging against President Joe Biden, saying that the Democratic president's push for a $15 minimum wage would hurt Black youth.
During an interview with Fox host Sean Hannity, Paul alleged that a minimum wage increase would put 4 million people out of work.
"The people who lose their jobs first when you hike up the minimum wage are Black teenagers," Paul said. "So, you know, 'Why does Joe Biden hate Black teenagers?' should be the question. Why does Joe Biden want to destroy all of these jobs?"
He added: "Even the government says that nearly 4 million people will lose their jobs."

He did not ALLEGE it. He CONTENDED it. And rightfully so.
For any teenager, or part time worker this will be a mistake.
Yeah, but since Bidet did today it is Hairass’ problem.
(See the Whitehouse list of former presidents)
“hairass the whore.”
I like it.
Very sincerely,
Kamala Harris
I have this tablet did should be died.
Democrats don’t give a $#!t about killing jobs for working people. Especially if it’s for the environment.
Those $15.00 an hour jobs will now be going to illegals!!!
Good question. Why DOES Xiden hate black teenagers so much? Is he a closet racist? 😁
If I were a business owner again, and this crap came down the pike to me? I would fire every GD one of my employees and hire a few back on salary. Then they can work what we used to call-Chinese overtime.
Or turn it into a mom and pop business. 8 to 5 and thats it.
The Democrat war against the economy is not just an election tactic. It is a core principle.
They’re gonna jack this thing from $7.25 to $15.00 IN FOUR YEARS???
They’ll have us where they want us: despondent and dependent.
Hey, Rand fan, why do you post raving garbage about the wonderfulness of Rand Paul but you whitewash his abject cowardice and monumental stupidity revealed in his voting to allow the monstrous electoral fraud to stand, nullifying your vote and the vote of the 80 million other voters who chose Trump, the rightful winner of the last election. Paul is a craven azzhole who bullschittz people about his concern for liberty anfd freedom but didn’t have the ballz to do the right thing in our time of crisis. Eff Rand Paul and thrpe Marxocrat donkey he rode in on. And every other gutless Quisling GOPee stooge. GOPee RIP.
Circa 1965 I worked for less than minimum wage. I was in high school. Circa 1966 I worked as an oilfield roughneck for minimum wage each summer until I graduated from college with a degree. Those men I worked for were hard ass men. They wished but one thing we become what they were not. The rig I worked on produced two pharmacists and one doctor. I was one of the two pharmacists.
Liberals in positions of power have nothing but contempt for EVERYONE.
It’s black AND white teens who will lose out.
On top of the horrible raise in the minimum wage, young Americans will have to compete with millions of new illegals streaming across the border - people who will work ‘under the table’ for five bucks an hour.
C’mon, man.. If you aren’t for a $15 an hour minimum wage, you ain’t black.
