The Biden-Harris campaign is out with a new radio ad using Donald Trump’s assertion at last week’s presidential debate that immigrants are not only displacing American workers, but taking “Black jobs.” He didn’t explain what occupations he meant.
The campaign to re-elect President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris latched onto Trump’s words, labeling them racist and flinging them back at the former President in a new radio ad that will begin blanketing swing state airwaves later this week.
The 60-second radio spot titled “Not for Us” portrays a conversation between two men asking, “what is a ‘Black job?’”
“Come on, bro. You know exactly what Trump meant,” one of two men says. The other posits high-paying, white collar occupations like doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs, to which the other man says Trump is “probably not” referring to those as Black jobs.
“Presidents? Vice Presidents?” the first man asks.
“Oh, that’s funny,” the other answers.
They go on to say that the jobs they currently hold, sarcastically calling them “Black jobs,” are paying better under Biden and their retirement accounts are healthier than under Trump’s administration.
“Speaking of Black jobs, I’ve got a Black job for you: Making sure the guy that said that, Trump … never becomes President again,” he says.
The ad buy is part of the Biden campaign plan to carpet bomb perceived battleground states with its message between now and November. The ad will air starting Friday in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Michigan and during nationally syndicated radio programs, the Biden campaign said.
“Donald Trump thinks so little of Black people that he can’t help but to keep saying the quiet part out loud: He thinks only certain jobs are ‘Black jobs,’” said Biden campaign Co-Chair, former U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond.
“It’s why he launched his real estate career getting sued for not renting to Black people and launched his political career attacking Barack Obama, the first Black President. It’s why he attacked and insulted Congressmen John Lewis and Elijah Cummings, civil rights heroes. In his mind, leading this country is not a ‘Black job.’ To him, my job as a United States congressman or senior advisor to the President of the United States is not a ‘Black job.’”

Have you had Trump’s image tattooed to your backside? Your neighbors in Fort Lauderdale will approve! It will look terrific next to your Nixon tattoo……. especially as you age and like a raisin!

Trump has always been a racist. Didn’t HUD sue him for discriminating against Blacks in one of his apartment buildings, or was that his dad. You know, the guy who left him $400,000,000 dollars.
Would it be racist to nominate Michelle Obama? That’s your worst nightmare, both as a Trump supporter, and as a cult member. Having Obama as president did on number on your buddies. Doubt Obama would run, but if Dems nominate some pasty white Republican looking character Black voters might stay home. Either way you get a bonanza: a big tax cut for rich folks, Bible stuff for the holier than thou, and Putin gets about half of Ukraine and attends Trump’s inauguration!

Putin invaded Ukraine while “basement Joe” was president. He didn’t do it while Trump was in there. Your point is invalid.

Everybody knows Trump is a racist. Just ask any New Yorker. They know him better than anyone else. His political campaign was launched on a racist birther lie, remember? John McCain, the last principled Republican (in addition to Mitt Romney), called BS on that one.
And her name is Kamala, she served as a District Attorney, Attorney General, Senator, and now Vice President. In case you didn’t notice, she’s a woman, which really seems to bother you almost as much as her non-Anglo sounding name.

Ka Mana is less popular than bottom dwelling Biden. Put her up and let us all watch her giggle and throw us word salad.

Michael. Anyone with half a brain knows why Joe picked her as VP. You are a good surrogate for her but she still isn’t much better than Slo Joe.

It’s easy to prepare for a debate when one is untethered to truth, doesn’t answer questions, just makes stuff up, and flat-out lies. “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.” That’s what Trump does. Goebbels would approve.

It never ceases to amaze me how the NeverTrumpers are capable of spinning every phrase he utters about Blacks/Latinos into something racist. Fact: the current job market is made up of a certain percentage of Blacks and Latinos. Diluting that market with immigrants, reduces ALL jobs availability. When addressing the Black and Latino communities to describe this truth, how else do you describe their segment of that market? It is a generic reference. The KoolAid drinkers have to make it racist, as they do with everything, to create a divided country. The Democrats are truly becoming desperate with this race baiting and hate speech.

Might have something to do with Trump’s full-page ad in the New York Times pressing for the execution of the Central Park Five. All were exonerated for a crime they did not commit, and Trump refused to apologize. Remember the birther lie? No apology for that either, and memories are long. Remember Omorosa? It’s a pattern and many burnt bridges. His name-calling, especially of Black women? His nasty attacks of civil rights icon John Lewis? The list goes on.
