Back in July, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump prompted the left and their media allies to become in desperate need of smelling salts after uttering one now-infamous line during an in-person interview he did at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention.
“I will tell you, that coming from the border are millions and millions of people who happen to be taking black jobs,” Trump said at the time, echoing a similar line he uttered during his June debate with Joe Biden.
As usual, mockery and fauxrage ensued from The Usual Suspects on both occasions, with the Biden campaign releasing an ad on it within days of the June debate and Biden himself later popping off about Trump’s remarks and how allegedly offensive they were.
“I love his phrase ‘black jobs.’ Tells a lot about the man and about his character,” Biden stated during a speech at the NAACP convention in July, five days before he was forced to drop out of the presidential race. The Harris campaign released an ad that alleged “Another day, another racist insult from Trump” after his NABJ comments.
Here we are a month and a half later and guess what just happened? If you guessed that Biden used the same phrase – and in front of an audience primarily comprised of black people, you’d be correct:
President Biden on Friday appeared to stumble over a reference to “Black jobs,” a phrase Democrats have bashed former President Trump for using, and pivoted to jab the Republican over the line.
“With your help, in just three and a half years we created over 2 million new Black jobs for Black — Black Americans,” Biden told a crowd at a brunch celebrating Black excellence hosted at the White House. He held a hand up as the crowd audibly reacted with laughter to the line.
Watch the clip below, which includes Biden’s Friday comments and also includes that Harris campaign ad that bashed Trump for saying the same phrase:

It’s also included in the official transcript, surprisingly enough.
We are eagerly awaiting the same outrage from the Usual Suspects:
Hi @MichelleObama, @IlhanMN, @KamalaHQ @JasmineForUS, Biden just used the term “Black jobs.” You were very mad when Trump said it. I assume you are outraged now too and will put out tweets condemning him? https://t.co/WUWRPN58aS pic.twitter.com/UZS11LSavN

Call the racism police, Biden just said “black jobs.”
Suddenly, everyone freaking out at Trump in this video looks really, really stupid.Maybe this is why you shouldn’t spend two straight months pretending to be offended by a meaningless verbal fumble. pic.twitter.com/a6q34WCaqY

Trust me when I say this is going to be glossed over just like the whole undemocratic process of powerful and rich Democrats replacing their nominee without a single primary just weeks before they held their convention. Because remember, it’s always (D)ifferent when a Democrat says or does it. Always.
