Too bad. I bet the pressure was heavy on these people.

One thing if your going to support Trump is loyalty if not, get out of the way, he doesn’t have time for people if he can’t trust them...

Good for him....the government controlled media lied and they died....in Trump’s eyes...next.....

[Charles Henrickson]

Oopsie!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like a setup. F them.

[Fido969]

Trump figured out that some there would use the meeting to embarrass him.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Sounds like Bummer made a call to the IRS.

He moves quickly - a good sign for the campaign. I imagine some of this was a setup from the get go.

[God luvs America]

got to love the contradiction and hypocrisy of liberals and their minions in the media...

third paragraph:

“The botched endorsement rollout represents an embarrassing setback for a campaign struggling to combat the perception that its candidate is racially divisive.”

final paragraph:

“Scott said that the criticism he and other black pastors have faced from for dealing with Trump has been withering.

“We’ve been called Uncle Toms, sellouts, coons … We have preachers calling us ‘prostitutes on a pole,’” he lamented, referring to an epithet leveled by one Baltimore minister. “If Donald Trump said that, the entire nation would be in an uproar.””

good for you Rev Scott...

[Red Steel]

No doubt in my mind that the Establishment Dims put pressure on them.

Among the Disciples, there was Judas who in fact was a traitor.

That principle certainly appears to be alive and well.

(Note to those TDS-victims suffering from their affliction, NO I am not comparing Trump to Jesus, not even close. Just to spare you any unneeded anxiety, God knows you all suffer enough already)

[Hostage]

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.

This is Politico; you have to ask how much of it is true!

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. “Ever since this controversy came out of this meeting, more pastors have contacted me seeking admission,” 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.

[smoothsailing]

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

[Solson]

Is there a way one slowly cancels a press conference? Abruptly cancels?

[Old Yeller]

They were looking for a financial shakedown.
