*During his “Thank You Tour” rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Thursday, President-elect Donald Trump took a moment to express gratitude toward all of the African-Americans who didn’t come out to vote, because it helped him to win the election.
Actually, he did what he always does…lie about something to make himself look better (“I’m doing great with the blacks”) and then attempt to Jedi mind trick folks into believing that the lie is true.
“We did great with the African-American community, so good,” he told the crowd. “Remember the famous line, cause I’d talk about crime, I’d talk about lack of education and I’d talk about no jobs. And I’d say ‘What the hell do you have to lose, right?’ It’s true.”
“And they’re smart and they picked up on it like you don’t believe,” he continued. “ And you know what else, they didn’t come out to vote for Hillary, they didn’t come out. And that was the big… so thank you to the African-American community,” he added.
The predominantly white crowd cheered.

The facts: Clinton lost nearly two million black voters who cast ballots for Obama in 2012. However, 88% of African-Americans who did come to the polls supported Clinton, versus 8% for Trump.
