On MSNBC's "The Weekend," co-host Michael Steele hammered Donald Trump over his "Black job" comments made duringhis Thursday night debate with President Joe Biden.
Simply put, the former RNC chair told the convicted felon ex-president to "shut the hell up."
Lost in all the discussion about Biden's stumbles during the debate was Trump's attempt to pit Black Americans against immigrants, by claiming they are coming into the country to steal jobs.

Specifically, the former president rambled, "The fact is that his big kill on the Black people is the millions of people that he’s allowed to come in through the border. They’re taking Black jobs now—and it could be 18, it could be 19 and even 20 million people. They’re taking Black jobs, and they’re taking Hispanic jobs, and you haven’t seen it yet, but you’re gonna see something that’s going to be the worst in our history.”
Reflecting on that soundbite, MSNBC's Steele wasn't having it.
"What black jobs are you talking about, Mr. Trump?" Steele asked. "I mean, you want to make a play to Black folks, you can't even show up at a [Black] barbershop?"
"You call into a barbershop, and you're going to talk to us about Black jobs? Shut the hell up," he added. " You know, why do we even entertain this crazy from this fool?"
