Clyburn on Trump's "Black jobs" comment

During Thursday night's shambling vs. rambling first televised presidential debate of 2024, which aired on CNN to 20-year record low debate viewership, Donald Trump spoke of undocumented immigrants "taking Black jobs," causing many to wonder . . . what exactly is a "Black job?"

Speaking to CNN's Dana Bash — a moderator for the debate, along with Jake Tapper — Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) spent a portion of his appearance on "State of the Union" Sunday weighing-in on the backhanded nature of Trump's comment to Biden during the first of two scheduled debates, while propping up the current president in his continued fight against the former as many are calling for him to step out of the race for re-election.
