CNN’s Lemon: ‘How Do Black Voters in 2020 Weigh These Low Employment Numbers Against the President’s Racist Behavior?’

Black unemployment reached a record low of 5.5 percent in the month of August. While CNN Tonight host Don Lemon and his panel acknowledged the statistic, they did their best to downplay it and rejected the notion that President Trump deserved any credit for the strong economy. Lemon argued that President Obama deserved the credit for the low black unemployment numbers because after reaching 16.8 percent in March 2010, the black unemployment rate dropped to 7.9 percent by the end of his term; a difference of 8.3 percent.
