I think this was a corrupt campaign manager doing what such people do....probably with the knowledge or at least tolerance of his boss, Cochran. Saleem whatever, the person who set this up, is black and has been in huge amounts of trouble for one thing or another throughout his career. He’s obviously Cochran’s secret weapon among blacks. The interviewer asked the pastor, for example, if he would have engaged in this scheme if the person asking him to do so had been white, and he said no.
It’s very sad, and in fact listening to this black pastor was very depressing. The man is almost unintelligible, clearly confused and afraid, and while he has probably spent his life doing borderline illegal things with government funds, since that seems to be a way of life in black churches, I think he realizes that he’s potentially in big trouble now.
He isn’t a big fish like the drunken GOPe official (not that Saleem guy) who tried to excuse away all the voting irregularities as “mistakes.” That guy really must be shaking. Him coming up DUI drunk after his little ‘only mistakes’ speech was a sign he knows something bad is coming.
Whoever is responsible for the stunt that let to that poor TEA party man’s suicide needs to be held accountable as well.
