Ben Carson Loves Donald Trump’s Insulting Pitch To Black Voters
The Twitterverse has reacted in revulsion to Donald Trump’s insulting pitch to African Americans – made before a white crowd – asking, “What the hell do you have to lose?” by voting for him. But not Dr. Ben Carson!
Raw Story explains what was wrong with Trump’s so-called appeal:
Friday night in Michigan, Trump himself attempted to rustle up some black votes — albeit in front of a predominately white audience — only to further inflame black sentiment against him with a cynical and condescending pitch that implied that all African-Americans live in abject poverty and whose lives could not get any worse.
“Look at how much African-American communities are suffering from Democratic control. To those I say the following: What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump? What do you have to lose?” Trump shouted at a crowd of his supporters. “You live in your poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed, what the hell do you have to lose?”
