Here is a quote from one of those pastors:

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."
If they backed down and withered under pressure, then they are a bunch of cowards.
