Excerpts from article:
...House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., downplayed the strong economic numbers among African-Americans on "Your World with Neil Cavuto" Tuesday, saying that black people "Were fully employed during slavery."
..."Even with the things he has said about African-Americans? Does that bother you?" Cavuto pressed, referring to a series of controversial comments made in recent years by Bloomberg about ethnic minorities that have resurfaced during the campaign.
..."Well, not as much as what Trump has said about African-Americans," Clyburn responded.
...Cavuto then brought up the president's economic record, saying that he had "Delivered the goods for a lot of African-Americans ... with record-low unemployment levels," prompting Clyburn to interject, "Come on, Neil" before claiming that the numbers were "Not true."
...Clyburn said he disagreed that African-American voters were content with how things were under Trump, "Because I go to church with African-Americans. I live with African-Americans. I'm the father of African-Americans."
