What did I just say? The Democrat Party is looking for a candidate who can lose jobs, who can cause wages to stagnate. James Clyburn from South Carolina, former chairman the Congressional Black Caucasians&#8230; Everybody wants the Clyburn endorsement going into the South Carolina primary. Plugs claims that he\u2019s gonna get it. We don\u2019t know who\u2019s gonna get the Clyburn endorsement.

He was on the Fox Business Network on Tuesday. He dismissed record low black unemployment under Trump, stating, &#8220;We were fully employed during slavery,&#8221; so this doesn\u2019t carry any weight with him. Folks, is that reasonable? Is that logical? Is that even sane? I mean, what kind of anger or partisanship must you be simmering with or effervescing almost going to boil over with? Here are your people, African-Americans, having one of the most record economic periods in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more economic opportunity, more jobs being held, record low unemployment for African-Americans, and he dismisses it. (impression) &#8220;Well, we had higher employment than this back during slavery. This doesn\u2019t impress me.&#8221; This came&#8230; It was Neil Cavuto, who Trump\u2019s having some problems with now, I gather. Neil Cavuto said to&#8230; Wait a minute. Now, let me check here. I just&#8230; I\u2019ll see if we might have this on the sound bite roster. I don\u2019t know that we do, but if we do&#8230; Doesn\u2019t matter. The question was&#8230; (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>Wait a minute. Somebody\u2019s just sending me a&#8230; (interruption) Oh, it was yesterday. We didn\u2019t get to it. My bad. Anyway, here it is. &#8220;[H]e\u2019s delivered the goods for a lot of African-Americans. Does he not with record-low unemployment levels? &#8230; You don\u2019t think that\u2019s something that\u2019s constructive?&#8221; And Clyburn said, &#8220;I\u2019m saying that the African-American unemployment is not the lowest it\u2019s ever been unless you count slavery&#8230; We were fully employed during slavery. So, it all depends how you measure this up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Okay, then a companion story, &#8220;Sen. Tim Scott,&#8221; African-American, South Carolina &#8220;Predicts Trump Could Get 15% of Black Voters in 2020.&#8221; If that happens, that alone is gonna be an earthquake inside the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s James Clyburn, the Congressional Black Caucasians. We had this yesterday, but I didn\u2019t get a chance to get to it. It was Tuesday night. Fox with Cavuto. Question: &#8220;Whether you like the president\u2019s style or not or his tweets or comments, he has delivered the goods for a lot of African-Americans, has he not? I mean, record low unemployment. Don\u2019t you think that\u2019s something that is constructive, Congressman Clyburn?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/547511\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>CLYBURN: No. No. Because it\u2019s not true.<\/p>\n<p>CAVUTO: What do you mean it\u2019s not true?<\/p>\n<p>CLYBURN: I\u2019m saying that the African-American unemployment is not the lowest it\u2019s ever been unless you count slavery.
