Trump: Hillary hasn’t done anything for African-Americans

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Thursday night said Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has done little for the African-American community during her lengthy career as a public servant.

“She’s been there, you know, that whole machine … it’s been there for years, so many years. They haven’t done anything,” he added.

Trump promised that, if he wins the Republican nomination, he will win the black vote in a general election.

“I will tell you, African-Americans, if I get the nomination, will come to me,” he said. “We will have so many African-Americans, because they understand me, they know me.

“They know I’m going to bring back jobs from China, from Mexico,” he added. “I’m going to create jobs, great jobs, not the kind of jobs they have right now.”

Clinton and rival Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders are in heated competition for support from minority voters.

Sanders on Wednesday met with civil rights activist Al Sharpton, and Clinton is scheduled to meet with him on Tuesday. 

The Congressional Black Caucus PAC also endorsed Clinton on Thursday.
