LYING LIAR POS tRump: Huckabee Sanders apologizes for false statement about black employment washingtonpost.com By Jeff Stein August 14 at 9:05 PM White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders apologized late Tuesday for wrongly stating that President Trump has created three times as many jobs for black workers as President Barack Obama did. At a news conference Tuesday, Sanders said Obama created 195,000 jobs for African Americans during his eight years in office. "When President Obama left after eight years in office — eight years in office — he had only created 195,000 jobs for African Americans,” Sanders told reporters. “President Trump in his first year and a half has already tripled what President Obama did in eight years." Sanders’s statement was false. According to official statistics, black employment in the United States increased by nearly 3 million jobs from January 2009 through January 2017. From January 2017 through July of this year, black employment has increased by about 700,000 jobs. Later Tuesday, the White House Council of Economic Advisers took responsibility for the mistake and published new data comparing black job creation following Obama’s elections in 2008 and 2012 with black job creation following Trump’s election in 2016. “Apologies for @WhiteHouseCEA’s earlier miscommunication to [Sanders],” the CEA said on Twitter. Sanders later followed with a statement of her own. “Correction from today’s briefing: Jobs numbers for Pres Trump and Pres Obama were correct, but the time frame for Pres Obama wasn’t,” she said on Twitter. “I’m sorry for the mistake, but no apologies for the 700,000 jobs for African Americans created under President Trump.” New data produced by the council compared black employment losses and gains in the 20 months following Obama’s election (-636,000 jobs) and the 20 months following his reelection (831,000 jobs) to the 20 months following Trump’s election (848,000). The selection of dates is somewhat unusual because it takes into account job gains or losses before Trump and Obama took office. In any event, economists generally regard a president’s ability to shape employment trends as limited. “If you start the clock on Election Day, Trump’s first 20 months slightly outperformed the beginning of Obama’s second term in African American employment growth,” said Ernie Tedeschi, who served as an economist in Obama’s Treasury Department. “If you start the clock on Inauguration Day, Obama was slightly ahead. But the real bottom line is that the pace of jobs growth hasn’t changed dramatically between the two presidents.” Sanders’s original answer came in response to questions about allegations that Trump used a racial slur.

LYING LIAR POS tRump: Sarah Huckabee Sanders Admits Mistake On Obama’s Black Employment Numbers She wrongly said that President Obama created 195,000 jobs for black Americans in his eight years in office. The number is closer to 3 million. By Carla Herreria 08/15/2018 12:57 am ET Updated 2 hours ago huffingtonpost.com White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday admitted she made a mistake when she falsely stated that President Donald Trump tripled the number of jobs President Barack Obama created for black Americans. Sanders tweeted her correction hours after Tuesday’s press briefing. “When President Obama left after eight years in office — eight years in office — he had only created 195,000 jobs for African-Americans,” Sanders told reporters during the press briefing. “President Trump in his first year and a half has already tripled what President Obama did in eight years.” Obama had actually increased employment for black Americans by about 3 million jobs during his time in office, January 2009 to January 2017, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Sanders issued a rare apology for the inaccurate statistic late Tuesday, but quickly followed it up with a non-apology: “I’m sorry for the mistake, but no apologies for the 700,000 jobs for African Americans created under President Trump.” The White House Council of Economic Advisers took responsibility for the flub and apologized to Sanders for an “earlier miscommunication.” Sarah Sanders ? @PressSec Correction from today’s briefing: Jobs numbers for Pres Trump and Pres Obama were correct, but the time frame for Pres Obama wasn’t. I’m sorry for the mistake, but no apologies for the 700,000 jobs for African Americans created under President Trump CEA ? @WhiteHouseCEA Replying to @WhiteHouseCEA Apologies for @WhiteHouseCEA's earlier miscommunication to @PressSec. 6:15 PM - Aug 14, 2018 13K 6,442 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Sanders made the claim while responding to questions about whether Americans could be guaranteed that they would never hear a recording of Trump saying the N-word, as former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman has suggested he has. The press secretary replied by saying she “can’t guarantee,” then shifted the conversation to highlight Trump’s employment record. “This president, since he took office, in the year and a half that he’s been here, has created 700,000 new jobs for African-Americans,” Huckabee Sanders said. “That’s 700,000 African-Americans that are working now that weren’t working when this president took place.” After the press briefing, the Council of Economic Advisers tweeted data comparing increases and decreases in minority employment from the 20 months following Obama’s election and the 20 months following Trump’s election. CEA ? @WhiteHouseCEA Per @PressSec briefing today: 2:33 PM - Aug 14, 2018 162 265 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy The selected dates take into account any employment changes that occurred in the two months before Obama’s and Trump’s inauguration dates. “If you start the clock on Election Day, Trump’s first 20 months slightly outperformed the beginning of Obama’s second term in African American employment growth,” Ernie Tedeschi, an economist who served under the Obama administration, told The Washington Post on Tuesday. “If you start the clock on Inauguration Day, Obama was slightly ahead. But the real bottom line is that the pace of jobs growth hasn’t changed dramatically between the two presidents.” As The New York Times noted, Obama took office during the Great Recession, when the unemployment rate for black Americans was 12.7 percent. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that rate increased to 16.8 in March 2010 but fell to 7.8 percent by Obama’s last month in office in January 2017. The unemployment rate for black Americans was at 6.6 percent in July 2018.

LYING LIAR POS tRump: Sarah Sanders apologizes for false claim about African-American jobs By Jeff Zeleny, Senior White House Correspondent Updated 6:04 AM ET, Wed August 15, 2018 cnn.com (CNN)White House press secretary Sarah Sanders issued a rare correction Tuesday night after falsely declaring that President Donald Trump has created three times as many jobs for African-American workers as former President Barack Obama did during his two terms in office. "Correction from today's briefing: Jobs numbers for Pres Trump and Pres Obama were correct, but the time frame for Pres Obama wasn't. I'm sorry for the mistake, but no apologies for the 700,000 jobs for African Americans created under President Trump," Sanders wrote in a tweet. During the briefing, as she sought to defend the President's record on race, Sanders said Trump has already tripled Obama's record over eight years for creating jobs for black workers. "This President since he took office, in the year and a half that he's been here, has created 700,000 new jobs for African-Americans," Sanders said from the White House podium. "That's 700,000 African-Americans that are working now that weren't working when this President took place. When President Obama left, after eight years in office, he had only created 195,000 jobs for African-Americans." But that's not even close to true, according to Labor Department figures. Hours after the briefing, after Bloomberg News pointed out the inaccuracy, the White House Council of Economic Advisers apologized for the figure. It posted a tweet citing a "miscommunication" to Sanders. While it's true that the US economy has added about 700,000 jobs held by African American workers since Trump took office, it added about 3 million black jobs while Obama was in office, according federal labor statistics. When Obama took office in 2009, 15.5 million African Americans had jobs in an economy filleted by one of the country's worst recessions. When he left office, the economy had 18.4 million black workers. Sanders made the claim as she was answering questions about whether she could guarantee Trump had never been recorded using the N-word while producing "The Apprentice." "I can't guarantee anything, but I can tell you that the President addressed this question directly," Sanders said. "I can tell you that I've never heard it." Then, Sanders went on to argue that Trump has created more jobs for black Americans than Obama did. "This is a President who is fighting for all Americans, who is putting policies in place that help all Americans, particularly African Americans," Sanders said. "Just look at the economy alone." This story has been updated.

LYING LIAR POS tRump: Sanders apologizes over inaccurate information about African-American job numbers under Obama BY BRETT SAMUELS - 08/14/18 09:44 PM EDT 1,357 thehill.com White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders apologized on Tuesday for providing inaccurate statistics about the number of jobs added for African-Americans during President Obama's time in office. Sanders claimed during Tuesday's press briefing that Obama only oversaw the creation of 195,000 jobs for African-Americans during his eight years in office. The actual number is close to 3 million. "Correction from today’s briefing: Jobs numbers for Pres Trump and Pres Obama were correct, but the time frame for Pres Obama wasn’t," Sanders tweeted Tuesday night in a rare walkback from a Trump administration official. "I’m sorry for the mistake, but no apologies for the 700,000 jobs for African Americans created under President Trump," she added. Sanders did not provide any specifics on the timeframe during which 195,000 jobs were added for African-Americans under Obama. She quoted a White House Council of Economic Advisers tweet that apologized to Sanders for a "miscommunication." The Council of Economic Advisers tweeted data that showed changes in minority employment 20 months after each of the past three elections. The group provided no further context for the numbers, nor did it directly address where Sanders's inaccurate claim came from. Sanders cited the inaccurate information as part of a broader response to questions about whether Trump had ever used the "n-word," after former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman alleged the president used the slur repeatedly on the set of "The Apprentice." Asked if she could guarantee Americans will "never hear" Trump say the racial slur on a recording, Sanders said she "can't guarantee anything" before pivoting to economic gains made under Trump. "This is a president who is fighting for all Americans, who is putting policies that help all Americans, particularly African-Americans," Sanders said. "Just look at the economy alone."
