Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang criticized the media Monday for its coverage of President Trump, saying that it has failed to explain his appeal.
"I would say I think our media has done us a disservice by overly simplifying why Donald Trump is our president today,” Yang said at a rally in Chicago.
Yang said that the media was wrong to blame Trump's election on racism, Russia, ignorance, immigration, Facebook, or the FBI, among other narratives.
“The reason Donald Trump is our president today is we automated away 4 million manufacturing jobs,” he said.
Yang, whose upstart campaign has recently gained media attention, has called for a new agency to monitor "fake news."
Unorthodox ideas have been a staple of Yang’s campaign. The centerpiece of his platform is a call for a universal basic income that would give every adult $1,000 a month, no strings attached. Recently, Yang has raised a discussion about circumcision, with a debate planned on the issue with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro.
Yang’s policies have made him a favorite in some corners of the Internet and created tangible support that has propelled him to a spot in the first Democratic debate this June.

This guy was literally polling 0% in Emerson’s poll a couple of days ago...
Who cares? Remember, Russia colluded to elect Trump. Doesn’t matter what Mueller or this guy says.
Democrats have their minds made up.
He’ll be polling-10% if this gets out ! Everyone I know knows that Trump stole the election
With Democratic primary voters? Sure.
And here I thought those jobs were shipped off to the Chinks.
Interesting thing...I have more than a few lefty friends.
When Donald J Trump announced for President, a couple of die-hard lefties admitted that Trump was saying what people were thinking, about immigration. It was an eye-opener.
And A government agency is going to determine what news is “fake” and what news is real? What could possibly go wrong? /s
That’s what passes for original thought on the left side.
This could be easily accomplished by reducing the tax rate accordingly. Of course, only taxpayers would benefit and that goes against what these marxists really want - which is to take $1,000/mo from taxpayers and give it to deadbeats and layabouts.
How about they gave away 20 million jobs to illegals?
Our now-deceased Democrat U.S. Senator was completely involved in outsourcing our garment industry to the Philippines
The idea is to cover precisely those who do not pay taxes because they have no job. Anyway $1000/month is pointless. You cannot live on this amount and it would just contribute to inflation.
No one knows what step number two is.
These are in addition to those jobs.
LOL LOL LOL
““The reason Donald Trump is our president today is we automated away 4 million manufacturing jobs,””
Andrew, you idiot, millions of manufacturing jobs were sent overseas to Mexico and China during the obama nightmare ... that has nothing to do with “automation” ...
The explanation for Trump’s victory: Hillary Clinton.
