McAuliffe sums up Trump’s pitch to black voters as ‘Your life sucks’

Virginia Gov. and Hillary Clinton ally Terry McAuliffe questioned the effectiveness of Donald Trump’s recent pitches to African-American voters Thursday. 

{mosads}“What he said about the African-Americans, ‘You’re all — you have no jobs, your schools are horrible, you’re worthless.’ Is that an endearing message to get people to vote for you?” McAuliffe said in an interview with WRVA’s “Ask the Governor” program, as reported by The Washington Post. 

“He didn’t call them ‘worthless,’ just for the record,” said host Jimmy Barrett. “But I understand what you’re saying.”

“Well, basically the implication is, ‘Your life sucks,'” McAuliffe continued. 

Democrats latched on to Trump’s plea to black voters last week, calling it an inaccurate picture of life in the U.S. for African-Americans. 

“What do you have to lose? You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed, what the hell do you have to lose?” the GPO nominee said to black voters at a rally in Michigan.
