Congressional Black Caucus Denounce Trump, Demand Apology

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Sep 16, 2016, 3:07 PM ET

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus on Friday called Donald Trump a "disgusting fraud" and demanded that he apologize to President Barack Obama for repeatedly challenging the first African-American president's U.S. citizenship before retreating from the claim on Friday.

One by one, outraged members of the CBC denounced the Republican presidential nominee who for five years was the chief promoter of the false notion that Obama was born somewhere other than Hawaii. Trump said in a brief statement Friday morning that Obama was "born in the United States, period."

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., called Trump a "two-bit racial arsonist" who has fanned the flames of bigotry and hatred. Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., called Trump a "disgusting fraud" who had no proof of his false claims. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said Trump is a liar.

The African-American members of Congress sought to use the turn of events to energize not only minority voters but moderates and independents who might be offended by Trump's repeated questioning of Obama's citizenship.

"Don't walk to the polls, don't jog to the polls, run to the polls," Jeffries told potential voters.

1. They are a solid reflection

Of black Americans.

With all of those voting impediment/disenfrachise laws falling one by one

I believe the:
Pollsters
Millenials Save Us
Oh Noes!!!!!

Crowd are grossly underestimating us.

And that's a good thing.

I love when I get to deliver a sucker punch to America on a Tuesday.

3. This is not a new position for the C.B.C.

Nice to see the AP finally clue in.

What if they had asked any of the C..B.C. about Trump and the birther "controversy" any time in the last 5 years?

Or in the last 8 years, after all Trump just latched on to this issue to score points and get press, birther nonsense is older than Trump's involvement in it...

Why did they never press this issue with any Republican official while they all played footsie with this racist nonsense?

Fuck the AP

4. Amen!

5. That's not the ONLY racist shit Trump has said or done!
