CNN’s Chris Cuomo mocked for using Obama-era data to prove systemic racism impacts Trump-era economy

By Fox News, June 12, 2020

CNN’s Chris Cuomo was accused of journalistic “incompetence” Thursday when he used Obama-era statistics in an attempt to prove systemic racism is impacting the economy under President Trump.

“[Systemic racism] is a fact that you see everywhere you look in black and white, the immediate proof is in the cabinet, where Trump has one black cabinet member and one black domestic policy advisor…let’s start with the economy,” Cuomo said as the on-screen data cited a 2016 Pew Research Center poll.

Barack Obama was the President of the United States in 2016.

“White people make more money than blacks do, period,” Cuomo said.

CNN then presented a different set of data on screen, which was attributed to another 2016 study.

“So much for Trump’s economy being the best ever for black people,” Cuomo.
