April Ryan speaks with Michael Blake, former Director of African-American & Minority Business Outreach for the Obama Administration. Is Trump the most “pro-Black” president? Has he afforded Black America more opportunities since 2016? The truth is in the job numbers.
Correction from today’s briefing: Jobs numbers for Pres Trump and Pres Obama were correct, but the time frame for Pres Obama wasn’t. I’m sorry for the mistake, but no apologies for the 700,000 jobs for African Americans created under President Trump https://t.co/EXGvbliwlS

Press Sec. Sanders claimed President Trump created three times as many jobs for black people as the Obama admin. did in eight years.
According to the official count from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, most black employment gains occurred under Obama. https://t.co/eLShjMvIpO pic.twitter.com/CBFFNRgDlh
