McEnany refused to say whether Trump endorses the statement that "black lives matter" and attacked Romney's support for the anti-racism protests.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany boasted that 8% of Black voters supported President Donald Trump's 2016 presidential bid and made false claims while attacking Sen. Mitt Romney's support for the Black Lives Matter protests on Monday.
"Mitt Romney can say three words outside on Pennsylvania Avenue but I would note this, that President Trump won 8% of the black vote, Mitt Romney won 2% of the Black vote," McEnany said. While those remarks, which Romney made during a private fundraiser, were widely criticized and denounced as racist at the time, Trump actually defended the comments in 2012.When asked about the comments, Trump told CNN's Piers Morgan,"I don't think [Romney] should be apologizing for anything" and Trump accused Obama voters of not paying taxes.
