Cherelle Parker: Philadelphia Had Sky High Black Unemployment and More Gun Violence Because of Trump

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Sharpton: “Donald Trump is is about to take the rally stage at Philly’s temple university, the latest of several campaign events he’s held in black city, some in black neighborhoods, though it was mostly white turnout, as he tries to peel off black support from President Biden. The Democratic National Committee responded to Trump at temple by putting up billboards in the surrounding neighborhood hitting the former president over his record with black Americans and promoting President Biden’s. Philly is crucial for the president’s fortunes in the twin state of Pennsylvania, are you worried Trump could cut into your city’s vote enough to cause Biden problems in November?”

PARKER: “No, reverend al, thank you so much for having me, but he’s actually there, Trump, the vile trickster, as I often refer to him as, is because he remembers how essential Philadelphia is to ensuring that President Biden wins Pennsylvania. If you’ll remember in 2016 he won Pennsylvania by 44,000 votes. Well, philadelphians rose to the occasion in the city that Donald Trump said specifically to the nation, bad things happen in Philadelphia. Well, we delivered for President Biden. He received 81% of our vote, nearly doubling that vote margin. And he became our president of the United States, and we’re going to do the same. This is simply a mere distraction, reverend al. And we won’t forget how Donald Trump has failed the black community. Sky high black unemployment. More guns and violence on our streets. And believe me, the higher healthcare costs for families in the city of Philadelphia, particularly the black community, we haven’t forgotten.”
