Sanders apologizes over inaccurate information about African-American job numbers under Obama

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.

Lying liar admits to one lie out of a sea of lies.

[enough]

1. Not an apology. Didn't correct the numbers. NT

[SkyDaddy7]

15. Not to mention...

Obama left Trump with a very healthy economy that Obama brought back from the dead!!

FUCK...If it were any POTUS but Obama the country would be praising what he did!! GOD DAMMIT IT ENRAGES ME that everyone in the media acts like economic meltdown of 2008-09 never fucking happened!!

2. Even if it were a genuine apology, which it wasn't, it still would be worthless.

You can't un-ring the bell. That quote/soundbite will be repeated by those who want to believe it is true, and no apology or correction will stop them from sticking with it. The same holds for all of her lies. That is what makes her behavior so toxic to our society. She is as morally bankrupt as Trump himself. It is too bad there isn't a hell for her to burn in.

3. Sorry, not sorry?!?!

What kind of "apology" was that? Smh. Never ruin an apology with an excuse.

[Grassy Knoll]

4. She Speaks Gibberish, Knowing The Dip Shitables Won't Understand...

..Epic Fucking Bomb.

[JoeOtterbein]

5. I don't believe the SHS claim that 700,000 black jobs Trump "created."

I feel that I must always consider the source. If, she made one incorrect statement in the calculation, I would toss the other "facts". Like the 700,000 jobs.

[brush]

6. I don't believe that 700k figure either. And she never corrected the time frame for O's jobs.

Such a bullshitting liar.

O created 15 times more jobs than what she quoted but she doesn't bother to mention that.

[Fred Sanders]

9. Truth versus Fiction ratio is 15to 1...so about par for the regime.

[canetoad]

11. Neither do I

Does any agency in this admin. keep accurate records?

[procon]

7. Ahh... it's the classic No-Apology-Apology with a soupcon of old fashioned racism.

Her inability to give any credit to Obama, her deliberate omission of the true stats in question, only makes her lies more hateful and racially motivated.

[Fred Sanders]

8. "Sanders Lies Again on Obama Versus Trump AA Job Creation By Lying About "time frame"

See, media, it is not that hard to be a truthful headline writer...and still get tons of audience and precious clicks!

[JohnnyRingo]

10. She couldn't own up to the 3,000,000 surplus under Obama

Let people look it up themselves I guess. She then quickly diverted to jobs created in the past year+ to further imply Trump's record is superior.

That's neither an apology nor correction.

[jayfish]

12. What's Worse?

The "mistake itself or the fact that the assembled press corpse and the press in general accepted the numbers at face value until the correction was made. I just about spit out my soda when she spewed that shite. President Obama averaged over 100K jobs created per month during his presidency.

[alp227]

13. Ohh...SARAH not Bernie. nt

[Snellius]

14. She even lied in correcting her lie. Right numbers for O but the "time frame" was inaccurate?

Give me a break! I wonder why she even corrected it at all. Not the usual double-down for fucking up. Have a feeling that it was her conscience. Obviously not the pres. She still has to keep some thread of honesty.

[Mc Mike]

16. Rec, nT.

[peekaloo]

17. "Tweets" an apology.

say it from the podium Sarah Slanders.
