‘Prostitutes’ for Trump: Pastor condemns black clergy who support Trump campaign
There is a reason that the meeting between GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump and dozens of black pastors didn’t produce the breakthrough endorsement that some were expecting, according to a prominent African-American spiritual leader in America.
As any veteran campaign strategists will attest, you don’t announce an impending endorsement unless you’re sure that support is iron-clad.
Peterson said Trump is appealing because he is not playing by the rules of political correctness.
OH pastor Darrell Scott, who arranged Monday’s meeting and was present at a similar gathering with evangelical Christian leaders in September, insisted that Trump “is not the person that the media has depicted him to be”.
“This meeting was awesome”, he said.
“How about we do this with CNN”, he said at about the 3:20 mark.
Are Bryant’s concerns the overall opinion of the black community?
“I won’t do the debate unless they pay me $5 million”, the former “Apprentice” star assured, “all of which goes to Wounded Warriors or goes to vets”. Therefore, the Democratic Party is trying to embrace the Black Lives Matter movement to get more black votes. “I personally said to him he needs to apologise”.
Jim Roddey, chairman of the Allegheny County GOP, does not support Trump.
Known widely for the anti-gay statements posted to the sign outside his church that included “Obama has unleashed the homo demons…” as well as his outrageous claims like “Starbucks uses sodomite semen in their lattes”, Manning enthusiastically pledged his support to Trump.
“He did say at the conclusion of the meeting that he heard everything that we said”. This announcement has sparked great debate amongst the black community and confusion with the pastors who were mentioned as having RSVP’d to meeting with Trump on a flyer. He also expressed reservations about what he considers Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric. Foy suggested Trump’s ability to attract so many black clergy even for a meeting suggests there is a “void” Trump is filling. Someone who is not impressed by his wealth. “Is that Donald Trump?”.
“I don’t think he’s qualified”, Roddey told the Post-Gazette.
And that’s too bad because black ministers play a crucial role in elections when it comes to disseminating information.
But many of those invited to the meet-and-greet objected to that description, saying they accepted the invitation only because they wanted to challenge Trump about what he’s said as a candidate. If the candidate wants to turn promised endorsements into real ones, he still has much work to do.
