Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It is probably, mostly, a fake story.

My guess is he had some list of reasons black voters would vote for trump, and happened to mention the sneakers as an afterthought.

The thing is, it's not. You can watch the entire video, without edits. It's as racist and banal as it sounds.

Where’s the video? I can’t see the article

Here's the video, straight from Fox itself: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6347175332112

(Ugh, I feel dirty sharing a Fox link, but I don't want asshats coming out of the woodwork declaring it's taken out of context or some bullshit.)
