In July, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump left the left and its allies in the media in desperate need of smelling salts after uttering a now-infamous phrase during a one-on-one interview at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention.
“I’m telling you there are millions and millions of people coming from the border who happen to take black jobs,” Trump said at the time, repeating a similar statement he expressed during his debate with Joe Biden in June.
As usual, Mockery and in both cases, there was false anger in “The Usual Suspects,” with the Biden campaign Share Within days of the June debate, an ad was published there, and Biden himself later railed against Trump’s comments and how offensive they allegedly were.
“I love his phrase ‘black jobs.’ It says a lot about the man and his character,” Biden said. specified during a speech at the NAACP convention in July, five days before he was forced to drop out of the presidential race. The Harris campaign released an ad that allegedly “Another day, another racist slur from Trump” after his NABJ comments.
Here we are a month and a half later and guess what just happened? If you guessed that Biden used the same sentence – and in front of an audience consisting mainly of blacks, you would be right:
President Biden appeared to stumble over a reference to “black jobs” on Friday – a term Democrats had sharply criticized former President Trump for using – and then pivoted to take the Republican by surprise.
“With your help, in just three and a half years, we’ve created over 2 million new jobs for Black people — Black Americans,” Biden told a crowd at a White House brunch celebrating Black excellence. He raised a hand as the crowd responded audibly with laughter at the sentence.
Watch the clip below, which includes Biden’s comments from Friday as well as Harris’ campaign ad criticizing Trump for the same remarks:

We eagerly await the same outrage from the usual suspects:
Hello @MichelleObama, @IlhanMN, @KamalaHQ @JasmineForUSBiden just used the term “black jobs.” You were very irate when Trump said that. I assume you are now also outraged and will be writing tweets condemning him? https://t.co/WUWRPN58aS pic.twitter.com/UZS11LSavN

Believe me when I say that this is being sugarcoated just like the whole undemocratic process of powerful and wealthy Democrats replacing their candidate without a single primary election, just weeks before their convention. Because remember, it’s always (different) when a Democrat says it or does it. Always.
