Can anybody fact check Sarah Hucklebag from today?

She claimed that Dotard has created (in 18 months) 700,000 jobs for African Americans while in 8 years Obama only created 195,000 jobs. I find this to be unbelievably far-fetched. But I can't seem to find any stats confirming her lying ass....

but fact checking has been rendered useless against this administration. There is no keeping up with the outright lies! And their supporters don't care anyway. Those of us who know the difference should have sore necks from shaking our heads in disbelief.

3. FRED African American unemployment rate

Aug 2018

1/2009 12.7%
1/2017 7.8%
7/2018 6.6%

Because of the reception the high point occurred March 2010 at 16.8% so Obama halved it by the time he left. Trump's administration has just continued the trend line.

Labor participation rate:
1/2009 63.2%
1/2017 62.3%
7/2018 62.5%

I'm aware of the unemployment rates..but,

She was very specific of the JOBS numbers. I just don't find them credible.
Obviously, if Black unemployment was CUT IN HALF, many , many jobs were created. I just want to know the absolute numbers. I think the numbers she mentioned were pulled out of her backside region where the sun don't shine, ya know?

And if SH Shitbag was LYING AGAIN, we may be able to force someone on the WH press corps to nail her on it.
I'm well aware the lying is constant, but at some point this shithead needs to be confronted on it. VIGOROUSLY.

I KNEW she was a lying sack of shit, but just needed confirmation.

Now, can someone, ANYONE in the WH press pool call her out on this???

I will be phoning in to Stephanie Millers show tomorrow to point this out. This blatant BULLSHIT needs to be cut off IMMEDIATELY if we are to restore faith in the 4th estate. AS WELL AS Integrity in our institutions.

As for Sarah.............FUCK YOU YOU LYING PIECE OF SHIT.

I hope, and PRAY....you end up in Guantanamo........
