BREAKING NEWS – Los Angeles, California – NBC News correspondent Richard Engel was the lone voice to side with “Real Time” host Bill Maher, after the comedian reiterated his “hopes” that a U.S. economic recession would help block President Trump’s reelection in 2020. “Short-term pain might be better than long-term destruction of the Constitution,” Engel argued. “Right!” Maher replied. “Thank you very much. Black people have had their run in good employment ever since Trump’s tax cuts. If we can get a recession and millions of them become jobless again, so be it. They will just be collateral damage in our war against Trump, and the smart blacks will understand the necessity of their personal financial destruction. In my view in this case, it is necessary oppression in regards black folks, and in time they will understand why many of them needed to be sacrificed.”
