GOP Sen. Rand Paul says that Biden's push for a $15 minimum wage reflects a 'hate' for Black teenagers

John L. Dorman 2 hours ago

GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky on Friday came out swinging against President Joe Biden, saying that the Democratic president's push for a $15 minimum wage would hurt Black youth.

During an interview with Fox host Sean Hannity, Paul alleged that a minimum wage increase would put 4 million people out of work.

"The people who lose their jobs first when you hike up the minimum wage are Black teenagers," Paul said. "So, you know, 'Why does Joe Biden hate Black teenagers?' should be the question. Why does Joe Biden want to destroy all of these jobs?"

He added: "Even the government says that nearly 4 million people will lose their jobs."

9. Your comment is ...

11. Yep, the asshole needed his ass whipped. n/t

[Volaris]

19. Nope. Not even a little bit. He went on Hannity and said this (because OF COURSE he did)

If he believed a fucking word of it, he would be saying it in Harlem; trying to convince the political opposition.

Make you a deal, Rand. Our side will go out into red america and push hard for Green New Deal and Public Option Healthcare on the merits of the arguments.

YOUR side can go peddle race-baiting bullshit in Black America.

And we'll see who comes out on top.

Kay?

3. I think we know who is doing the hating

yes indeed

[Laelth]

4. LOL!

I know quite a few black teens whose lives would be greatly improved by a $15/hr. minimum wage. They probably think that Rand Paul is full of shite!

5. Another A$$hole - tired of these people

[FirstLight]

6. fuck you. both rand & hannity

I could care less what these asshats say in their fucking sound bubble. Fox news is only relevant if we give them an ounce of attention. How about everyone ignoring hannity and what's said on his "show" for a week? Only the crazy watch that channel...stop giving them relevance and they will lose ...

12. Fucken Hannity belongs in a cage as a dangerous species. n/t

14. He and his ILK are all just ...gah!...I can't even! nt

7. Rand Paul has great health insurance. He should use it to get psychiatric help. nt

13. The only way to handle the crisis is to give the rich more money.

The Republican view is a world of kings and pawns. They need to give the wealthy more means with which to trickle down on us. Paying a living wage is sacrilege. I hear the same kind of "hate line" on the right wing forums. The line is that Democrats hate black people and our involvement in the Civil War proves it......

Let the Republicans earn wealth in the time honored tradition of working for it, not legislating into it. We need some trickle up for a change. It is really pretty simple, If the Republican business model can't afford to pay a living wage, they can not afford to be in business. That doesn't mean that demand ceases, there will be someone who can figure out a way.

No one who works a full time job in this country should have to depend on government support to keep food in their bellies. (just don't tell that to the Wal-Marts of the world)

15. i hereby reflect my hate for Rand Paul.

[Grins]

16. Somehow, I don't think...

...Rand Paul, or his racist father, Ron,* gives a shit about Black teenagers, or ANY Black person...

*. Years ago it came out that Ron Paul had been publishing and distributing racist newsletters and pamphlets - for DECADES! Even while he was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives!

[CottonBear]

17. Chris Rock has on opinion on the minimum wage:

What your boss is thinking when they tell you they’re going to pay you the minimum wage:
“Hey! If I could pay you less I would, but it’s against the law.”

18. Rand Paul seems to be inferring...

He seems to be inferring that a black teenager's labor is not worth the same as a white teenager's labor.

Dumbass
