Donald Trump Receives Support From Some Black Pastors
“You have to tell me because I know what they’re going to say, ‘Trump is a chicken, ‘” he said. “I think people, in the final analysis, will realize he doesn’t have the skills, the background and the experience he needs to be president”.
Darrell Scott, the pastor of New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, said that a meeting between the real estate mogul and a group of black pastors was a “meaningful dialogue”.
“How about I tell CNN, who doesn’t treat me properly”.
But why won’t Rudy say that, asked CNN host Alisyn Camerota? “Donald Trump is clearly dividing us by giving one group of Americans a false sense of superiority thus indicating the rest of us are un-American”.
The meeting not only ignited controversy, it spawned confusion.
Monday, after the meeting, Trump mentioned African-American unemployment as one of the issues addressed during the meeting and ended the conference emphasizing that he has made no financial commitments to any of the churches the pastors represented.
But several black pastors invited to the gathering quickly rebutted the endorsement talk.
“The reality is, the night of Sept 11, I said to the people of NY, ‘you should not assign blame here,”, he said.
As skeptics have asked Trump and his supporters to produce evidence of these alleged celebrations, some have cited MTV News’ coverage in the wake of the attacks. “I mean, Trump has criticized and insulted women, Hispanics, Muslims and reporters”, Kasich said. “All lives are very important”.
But the Trump campaign declined to offer a list of either the ministers who attended or those who had endorsed him.
“What he said was that he would take that into consideration”, Morgan said.
Republican 2016 front runner Donald Trump held a meeting with about 100 black pastors in New York Monday, (November 30) and while he didn’t receive a blanket endorsement from everyone, Trump appeared confident about those who did come forward in support. He also expressed reservations about what he considers Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric. “But what’s more discouraging than the things that he has said is the fact that in the face of him saying all of these things, he continues to surge in the polls”.
“I really felt that their contingency was really selling out their vote for nothing”.
