Acadiana Pastor Plans on Endorsing Trump After Meeting

However, at other times in his speech, he seemed more skeptical of the idea, telling the crowd of approximately 5,000 that the move would only be spun by his opponents.

“The problem is they’ll say ‘Trump is chicken, ‘” Trump went on.

Monday’s meeting may have come as a surprise for folks, in light of Trump cancelling a planned press conference where it would’ve included him highlighting endorsements from 100 black religious leaders.

Despite fact checkers and journalists claiming that Trump made up these celebrations, Trump continues to insist that they happened.

On Wednesday, Trump’s campaign announced that he would receive the endorsement of 100 black pastors at a news conference after the meeting.

Thomas said, he, along with several others, asked Trump many questions surrounding race and the economy, “51 percent of the black youth are unemployed”.

“Nobody at this meeting came out with negative reaction in any kind of way”, Scott said, adding that “Everybody in the room likes Donald Trump”. In the extended videos, there are multiple contemporary news clips with anchors saying they couldn’t find evidence of people celebrating in the wake of the attack.

Looking ahead to the next Republican debate, to be hosted by the network on December 15, Trump said: “How about we do this with CNN? Yes”, New Day co-anchor Chris Cuomo admitted.

‘Well, I think what he’s doing is exaggerating, right?’ Giuliani said.

Giuliani stopped short of saying that Trump was wrong or lying about thousands of people cheering.

Asked for his reaction, Trump said: “He’s got to say that. I didn’t see any evidence of thousands – nor have I seen it since then – of thousands of people celebrating”.

If some of the black church leaders endorse Trump, Peterson says, it would have a major impact on the 2016 presidential election. I saw it. So many people saw it, Chuck.

Trump recently told Chuck Todd of Meet the Press that he will not take back his claim.

“I do not remember that, and so it’s not something that was part of my recollection”, Christie said on November 22 after describing how 9/11 was a “harrowing day” for him personally.
