The meeting will happen but the media will not know who attended so they won’t have a chance to crucify the attendees and smear them in their rags.
But the Trump campaign will still be able to announce the number of endorsements if they choose. But they are protecting the names from attacks by the scumbags in the media.

“Hey everybody! Massa says get back on the plantation NOW!”
A bridge too far and too heavily defended... the Dems own ‘Black’ leaders.

But some of those listed as invitees quickly took to social media to condemn the billionaire businessman. Detroit pastor Corletta Vaughn called Trump "an insult and embarrassment" in a Wednesday Facebook post. Amid the furor, the campaign canceled the public portion of the event. The private meeting will go forward as planned...
I'm guessing Pastor Corletta Vaughn has been disnivited to the private meeting.

Trump set the meeting up and invited the attendees. Shouldn't he have known that ahead of time? Otherwise why invite them?Just giving them enough rope.
The next decade is going to be BAD for American commies, no matter what color they are.

Amid the furor, the campaign canceled the public portion of the event. The private meeting will go forward as planned, and Scott said that the guest list has continued to grow in recent days. Even as some pastors drop out, he said he expects the total attendance to exceed 100. ââ¬ÅEver since this controversy came out of this meeting, more pastors have contacted me seeking admission,ââ¬Â he said.You have to look past the headline. The press conference was cancelled, not the meeting.
Which, apparently, has grown in the number of attendees.
Let's hope the iron shackles the Dems have had on the blacks for the last 50 years are beginning to fall off.

I thought commies were red.

He’s basically done it before, when customers backed out of using his facilities because if his politics - but still had to pay the contracted amount. He floated that he got paid double in those cases, once for the party that cancelled and once for the subsequent scheduled use of the now-available venue.

Sounds like you are tickled that black pastors are being coerced via Cultural Marxism to dissociate themselves with the leading Republican candidate. I guess you would prefer them to remain on the Democrat plantation as slaves.

Black social justice a-holes are at it again. I hope the decent black ministers stand tough and united for Trump.

It is pretty basic knowledge that pastors and churches arenât allowed to endorse candidates for public office.Do you have a direct quote from Trump or his campaign saying that the pastors would endorse him?
To: Hostage
You are right on target. I expect some to step forward anyways. Pastor Darrell who was the liaison has taken some of the blame. I don’t think he expected the pressure they got. Some good people I am sure.
To: Red Steel
No doubt in my mind that the Establishment Dims put pressure on them.Why would you believe that the corrupt sellout backstabbing pocket-lining GOPe had nothing to do with it.
To: springwater13
Is there a way one slowly cancels a press conference? Abruptly cancels?

No, it sounds like Trump invited all these pastors to a meeting—and that’s all they signed up for, i.e., a meeting—but then he prematurely assumed that they would of course endorse him, when that was not part of the deal.

It is pretty basic knowledge that pastors and churches arenât allowed to endorse candidates for public office.As individuals, pastors can endorse anyone; churches are not to do so, as that would put their IRS exemption at risk.
Although, for black churches, the IRS gives them a pass, and just goes after white churches for such violations.
