“I cherish my black job,” Biles shared on X.
The mention of “black job” seemed directed at former President Trump, who made initial comments about it during a debate with President Biden on June 27.
“The reality is that his major impact on Black individuals is the countless people he’s permitted to enter through the border. They’re taking Black jobs now,” Trump stated regarding illegal immigration during the CNN debate. “They’re taking Black jobs and Hispanic jobs as well. You may not have realized it yet, but you’re soon going to witness something that will be among the worst in our history.”
