Many black pastors say meeting with Trump not an endorsement

He has repeated unsubstantiated claims that Muslim-Americans in New Jersey celebrated by the “thousands” when the World Trade Center was destroyed on September 11, 2001.

Lastly, there’s Trump’s demonstrably false claim that he saw “thousands and thousands” of Muslims celebrating the fall of the Twin Towers and, even worse, his proposal to build a database to track
every Muslim in the U.S.

Trump’s campaign has been unable to produce video footage of the supposed celebrations and the Washington Post reporter who authored a story that Trump has used to corroborate the event has denied he saw any evidence of such celebrations.

On Fox News Sunday, the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina said Trumps game plan is to say something insulting, offensive, outrageous, so that the media pays attention and then he claims we all misunderstood him.

Trump told “Meet the Press” that “we’re looking for other articles and we’re looking for other clips and I wouldn’t be surprised if we found them”, he said. “Many people have tweeted that I am right”.

Bush added that he will give Trump “the benefit of the doubt” to see how his campaign progresses. Because somebody who divides this country here in the 21st century, whos calling names of women and Muslims and Hispanics and mocking reporters, then say[ing] I didnt do it but he did do it its just not going to happen.

CHUCK TODD: Just because somebody repeats something doesn’t make it true! “I don’t know it it’s an endorsement, I don’t know if it’s an endorsement by some”, he said.

CHUCK TODD: People weren’t saying.

CHUCK TODD: People were saying, people were saying. Uh, why not? Seriously, I think that’s his argument: “You have a huge Muslim population, between Patterson and different places and Jersey City, an unbelievable large population”. “The effort by candidate Trump is meaningful and shows that black votes matter”, said Farrell, who is undecided on who to support for president. Fact-based stuff matters.

In an open letter published on the website of Ebony Magazine, 114 academics and church leaders warned the pastors that meeting with Trump would be a mistake.

The most recent Republican standard-bearers all had to cope with the emergence of ultraconservative factions unwilling to cooperate with moderates who once saw the imperative of working across party lines. “I think having a meeting is a good thing anyway. I saw it somewhere on television many years ago and I never forgot it. And it was on television too”.

Trump knows what he’s saying, he knows why he’s saying it, and he will never apologize. These words uttered by Stephen Colbert while still hosting “The Colbert Report” sum up Donald Trump’s campaign for president.

The scene of the crime this time was a rally in SC, a rally where Trump jerked his body and contorted his arms like a man with a physical disability.
