The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has rejected the invitation to meet with President Trump for a follow up meeting at the White House, according to a letter released by the chair of the committee, Cedric Richmond, on Wednesday.
Citing actions by the Trump administration "that will affirmatively hurt black communities," Richmond wrote that concerns discussed during a preliminary meeting with Mr. Trump on March 22nd "fell on deaf ears."
"Given the lack of response to any of the many concerns we have raised with you and your administration, we decline your invitation for all 49 members of the Congressional Black Caucus to meet with you," Richmond said.
"I fail to see how a social gathering would benefit the policies we advocate for," Richmond added.
Mr. Trump's adviser Omarosa Manigault extended an invitation to the 49 members of the CBC to return to the White House for a follow up meeting on June 9th, first reported by CBS News last week.....

I'll bet they'd meet with Raul Castro, Nicolás Maduro or Kim Jong Un if one of them asked, though.

Sums up the entire democrat/liberal ideology perfectly.

Our President should announce that the time slot refused by these idiots is now open for inviting 50 to 100 “Victims of Black Crimes”. BBQ included.

from C BS link However, an article by The Washington Post points to the Emily Post Institute of Etiquette which states that "the honorific is reserved for "the President, the Vice President, United States senators and congressmen, Cabinet members, all federal judges, ministers plenipotentiary, ambassadors, and governors," who get to use the title for life." Omarosa Manigault IS honorable! She is also sharp as a tack. She was sending a message that she won't abide by the dishonorable opposition! Emily Post? Really? Is that all you got? Emily Post? HA! You stepped into right into Omarosa's trap, dumbass.

How long do you think these folks had to practice their scowls?
Where did they ever find a large enough mirror?
We all know how had it is to get normal people to smile at the camera at the same time!
