Donald Trump Sits Down with Black Religious Leaders
But regardless of what the kids said, she’s been consistent that it was only a small number and not the “thousands” that Trump claimed. And they find out that he’s not the person that the media has depicted him to be.
However, Giuliani said it’s up to Trump to “deal with it” and “show the evidence” if it happened, because if he saw a video, as he says, there still has to be a record of the incidents. Six of the eight, Guzman reported, lived in the building, which Guzman was told was “swarming with suspects”.
Pastor Al Morgan of Launch Ministries in Raleigh, North Carolina said that Trump indicated that he’d take lightening up into consideration. “I think they really want to see victory, because ultimately it is about, we want to win and we want to win together”.

“It’s not true and there’s plenty of fact-checks to prove that it isn’t”, Rubio said. Couzens was immediately cut off by angry staffers who demanded to know why he owed an apology to anyone and questioning what he had to repent for.
The candidate told his almost all-white audience that the meeting in NY was “inspiring”.
“I would sit down with Trump on my terms”, she said.
But Sliwa refuted Trump’s claim, saying that the clip was “edited” and that there were only “a handful of people” celebrating. “Probably not in his domain, [but] in a more neutral community – maybe possibly in a black church, maybe my church, where we can see how comfortable he is in our space, and whether or not he can relate to some of the concerns we raise”.
