NYC’s Youngest Council Member Could Be Headed For Congress | The Last Word | MSNBC
Congratulations 👏👏👏👏we need a new kind of leadership.
Watch and weep Trump the black wave is coming… 😂
BLM are being used by White Nazi Communist Antifa.
George Soros who funds them was a Nazi sympathizer during World War II when he was young.
@Deplorable I never know if you people are pretending or are genuinely as dumb as your comments would suggest.
@Deplorable You aren’t even deplorable jus fukkin stoopid
@Snaggle Toothed Since the election of President Trump, more than one million new jobs had been created for black Americans. The black unemployment rate had reached near record lows, while the poverty rate was the lowest on record prior to the Plan Demic. The President worked with Senator Tim Scott to create opportunity zones under the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”. Nearly 9,000 communities across all 50 states that were previously left behind saw a new wave of investment pour in along with new jobs and renewed hope.
While the pundits wrote it off as a pipe dream, President Trump fought for and delivered the most meaningful criminal justice reform in a generation. Since the “First Step Act” became the law of the land over a year ago, more than 3,000 Americans have been released from prison, and 90 percent of those who have had their sentences decreased and released are black Americans. They have been reunited with their families and have a second chance at life.
This president is also a champion for school choice so that every child can achieve their full potential. Education is still the master key to unlocking all the opportunities our country has to offer. But unfortunately; too many Americans, and especially too many black Americans, remain trapped in failing schools. By giving every student the freedom to attend the school of their choice, Republicans will make good on our belief that the quality of education for our kids should not be predetermined by their zip codes.
President Trump has also made historically black colleges and universities a priority, securing more funding than any other president. Despite all the progress he has made in three short years, as Trump likes to say, he is just getting started. He has an incredible success story to share with black Americans.
Democrats have promised a lot every election year; but delivered little for the black community. President Trump holds a real track record of results for black Americans. Stop listening to the paid trolls and misinformed haters online.

Congrats to the Community That Voted for Change. Young Creative And Intelligent Minds Are What this Country Needs today. Our Younger Generation Needs Representation That Is Just As Diverse As their Schools, Communities, Friends And Family Members. Some Of the Younger Generation Believes their Parents Way of thinking Is Outdated And Out Of Touch And they Will Tell You So. Good Luck.
