Simone Biles takes dig at Trump with 'Black job' quip
Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
Olympic gymnastics superstar Simone Biles has already thrown down some epic performances in Paris -- and now, she is throwing some shade at Donald Trump.
"I love my black job," the 27-year-old posted Friday on social media platform X, alongside a black heart emoji, following her history-making gold medal win in the all-around competition.
She was responding to a post from singer Ricky Davila, who shared photos of Biles showing off her medal with the caption: "Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job."
Speaking to a conference of Black journalists this week, Republican White House candidate Trump said undocumented migrants are taking "Black jobs."
Asked to specify what was a "Black job," Trump responded: "A Black job is anybody that has a job."
It is a phrase he has used many times on the campaign trail.
Trump is running against Democratic US Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black and South Asian woman ever to secure a major party's nomination.
