After a week of backlash for his comments about four minority Congresswomen that many called "racist," as well as chants targeting one of those congresswomen at his rally, President Donald Trump privately met with former NFL player and conservative commentator Jack Brewer at his Bedminster Golf Course to talk about "black America," Brewer told ABC News.
President Trump made the unusual move of intervening in the case of black rapper A$AP Rocky, who is currently being detained in Sweden for an alleged assault. After telling reporters that Rocky "has tremendous support from the African American community," Trump held a 20 minute phone call with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven on Saturday asking him for leniency.
Trump also met with Brewer, a Trump supporter who is a frequent commentator on FOX News and writes columns for conservative website Newsmax. Brewer's most recent article was titled "4 Ways Trump has done More For African Americans than Barack Obama."
"My goal is to help calm this wave," Brewer told ABC News in a phone interview about the tensions between the black community and Trump. "It's all about emotion."
Brewer said he and the president did not specifically speak about the latest controversy regarding the four congresswomen and the rally chant, saying that his agenda was criminal justice reform and how it's impacting the African American community.
"I came to talk about what's been done. Thousands of black families have their dads now," said Brewer, referring to the announcement on Friday that 3,100 inmates were released from prison under the First Step Act.
"I was focused on discussing issues that are making a real impact for black families in America. Period."
"It felt good hearing his passion," Brewer added.

WOW, that was an ABC Article??
I think I just felt the ground shift under my feet...
Thanks for posting it!
He also met with Jim Brown.
Nice article, however, I wonder if “the four” will say he’s pandering.
Lying by anonymous attribution: “...that many called racist...”
And “black America's” problem is they are racist and see themselves as black instead of human beings.
The so called backlash against President Trump was entirely manufactured by the Goebbels Mushroom media.
COLD HARD FACTS
Trump is not a racist. He has done more for “people of color” than most DemoRats could ever hope to accomplish. He has minorities and women on his cabinet. His grand children and Son in Law are Jewish. He has restored the American
Embassy to Jerusalem, He has enabled millions of people of all races to get jobs and increase their economic fortunes. He has given women professional jobs of high importance in his government.
All against the hate ad resistance of the wacko liberal LEFT. Written by a proud AMERICAN of non-Caucasian persuasion. MAGA2020
Brewer is saying all the right and accurate things. We will see how long it lasts. BTW he is frequently on FBN.

Imagine Jack and Candace on a Blexit speaking tour next year.
JOURNALISM TRICK #32
Note the following sentence:
“After a week of backlash for his comments about four minority Congresswomen that many called “racist,””
If you reverse the roles, this is what the above sentence would say:
“After a week of backlash for his comments about four minority Congresswomen that many WRONGLY claimed to be “racist,””
If the media had done the second, it would have, of course been right, in this case. And they have NO PROBLEM doing it against Trump, for example, by saying that Trump lied about being spied on...even when Trump was right in the end.
The article mentioned a couple of past NFL players talking with Trump about race relations, but no current ones have been pointed out. The players on the field take the liberty of desecrating the flag and the people that suffered for their right to do so and make their millions, but they won’t take the step to change anything. They call it an action to get people’s attention. So is setting a bomb in a shopping mall. I’m still waiting for someone to do something other than bitch about the situation to step forward and try to change it. Until then, they are nothing more than American traitors and cowards. Until then, it is not a debate, it is an attack intended to create other attacks. That’s what terrorists do.
