El Trumpo is canceling a press conference for a meeting that had been announced as an endorsement by 100 Black Pastors after some said they had been invited but weren’t attending, and others objected to being told they were going to endorse his presidential run.
Watch below:
Clearly all the Black Pastors are plants by the GOP establishment who are trying to destroy the Donald.
More from the Telegraph:
Donald Trump has been forced into a humiliating climbdown, cancelling a major campaign event after black church leaders complained that a private meeting was being billed as a public endorsement of the leading Republican presidential candidate.
Journalists had been invited to Trump Tower in New York on Monday to hear 100 African-American evangelical pastors endorse Mr Trump following the meeting.
But the claim prompted a number of angry denials from those involved who said they had simply agreed to hear the candidate set out his position on key issues. Others said they had declined the invitation altogether.
Here’s the earlier announcement from the New York Times:
Donald J. Trump will take the next step in his religious outreach effort next week when he announces the endorsement of a group of 100 African-American pastors and religious leaders at his Manhattan headquarters.
The Republican presidential candidate has a private meeting with the group scheduled on Monday before they make their offer of support official, according to his campaign. The endorsement comes as Mr. Trump has faced criticism for stoking racial tension and has seen his support among evangelical Christians start to waver in polls as voters consider Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Ben Carson.
Apparently this is one of the pastors who objected:
Pastor Mark Burns, You NEVER contacted me or got my permission print my name. I never confirmed my attendance. https://t.co/0aKX5P6bwt

Well. El Trumpo doesn’t need your stupid endorsement anyway. Loser.
