President Donald Trump told a gathering of young black leaders that Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) “lies like a son of a gun” and radical Democrats are “trying to steal your vote, steal your voice.”
The 2019 Young Black Leadership Summit gathered Friday afternoon at the White House where President Trump discussed the record low unemployment numbers in the black community since he took office.
“You went with me, and now you have the best employment numbers you've ever had, the best numbers, the best poverty numbers, so it's good,” Trump said.
“But the radical Democrats are willing to do anything to smear anyone and to lie about everything in their craven quest for power and money and other things, I guess.
I don't want to tell you what those other things are, but they're not good. Although maybe when the cameras shut off, we'll talk.
They're trying to steal your vote. They're trying to steal your voice and steal your country. They're trying to steal your country.
And they don't have what it takes. Shifty Schiff. How about Shifty Schiff? He got four Pinocchios today and The Washington Post. He lies like a son of a gun - he's been lying for three years.
But we will never let that happen where they take away your country.
We will uphold the sacred principle of government by and for the people. That's you. The corrupt forces in Washington. And they are corrupt. And that includes the media, because large parts of them and not all of it – they have some great journalists, reporters, but large portions of the media are corrupt perpetrating these hoaxes like never before.”
