‘Love’ and Disbelief Follow Donald Trump Meeting With Black Leaders
The New York Times ^ | December 1, 2015 | MICHAEL BARBARO and JOHN CORRALES

Posted on 12/01/2015 6:11:30 AM PST by detective

It seemed like a powerful counterpoint to the perception of Donald Trump as intolerant: A hundred black ministers and religious leaders would endorse him at his offices in Manhattan, vouching for his sensitivity and broadmindedness.

But within hours of the announcement a few days ago, furious backtracking, denials and finger-pointing were underway.

The NYT brings out Al Sharpton and others to criticize and impugn Trump and the black ministers he met with.

the Rev. Al Sharpton wondered why black religious leaders would seek to bask "in the glow of a billionaire" while "offending their congregants and offending their cloth."

"Let us not forget," Mr. Sharpton said from the pulpit of his National Action Network, "Jesus was a refugee and they are meeting with someone who has taken a mean stance against refugees. I don’t know how you preach Jesus, a refugee, on Sunday and then deal with a refugee-basher on Monday without raising the question."

Sharpton is a liar and a con man. He is a creation of the Democrat Party and the MSM. He is paid over $1 million a year by MSNBC to host a TV show with the fewest viewers and lowest ratings in the history of television.

But, the NYT NEVER questions the honesty or sincerity of Al Sharpton.

You can see how weirded out this is.

Jesus is REFUGE. Jesus is not refugee. It might have been a manger before it was a house, but God made a way for Him.

This was a very telling meeting.

SOME of the ‘black leaders’ were clearly supportive, while others (the ‘gibmedats’ types) were mad because The Donald wasn’t promising them some goodies in return for their support.

And the second group had the nerve to bring up prostitutes (”at least prostitutes get paid”) with no sense of irony whatsoever...

Jesus lived humbly because He chose it.

It’s more like the devil is the forced refugee that can’t ever find a place to rest.

"The NYT brings out Al Sharpton and others to criticize and impugn Trump and the black ministers he met with."

That has all the credibility of the NYT bringing out a crackwhore to refute something Mother Teresa had said about virginity.

Disgusting deceit preying on stupidity and emotion. How does Al Sharlatan live with himself?

The Times should ask itself why the reporter would want to “bask” in the glory of a man who should have been arrested for the Freddie’s Fashion Mart (inciting the killing of 8)/Tawana Brawley (false rape accusation)/his millions of tax dollars owed?

God has a way of eliciting truth... those counting on God and reflecting it are going to see an increase in their blessings while the others are going to be disappointed wherever they go.

This is not even a black problem. This is a human problem. Hello telehucksters.

Poor "Reverend" Jesse Jackson, if only he hadn't wanted to "Cut is nuts off", The NYTimes would be calling him.

As is, Imam Obama choose a tax deadbeat, fraud, and con-man as his urban mouthpiece.

The underlying question NYT seems to want to pose is, “Is this the bridge too far for The Donald? Does this repudiation of The Donald’s initiative mean that his outreach has finally begun to fizzle?”

#BlackLivesMatter has these pastors completely buffaloed.

And who funds #BlackLivesMatter? Reveal that, and you shall have the driving force trying to stop The Donald.

At the very best it is talking about an unclear situation how such a weird profile of “refugee” got created (able bodied men, hardly a woman or child in sight).

But fine. Is Al willing to make these folks his next door neighbors?

Al BIG MOUTH Power. As an aside, since he lost that weight (he claims by diet) he sure looks sickly.

Let us pray President Trump seeks divine justice and locks up Foul Al for his transgressions!

“If you watched the video from after their meeting, it tells you the Truth”

Correct. Also there’s the fact that all of those black leaders were willing to meet with him, and it was a 2 1/2 hour meeting.

Lots of folks have big mouths and most don’t go anywhere with it.

Jesus would have been aborted if the Left had its way (since a poor family can’t afford children, and besides that, his legitimacy was called into question).

Moreover, his family were nationalist Jews who believed in the Jewish national destiny and purpose (and kingdom); and their choosing to have him born in Bethlehem obviously indicates sympathy with the illegal (as defined by the UN) Settler movement. Clearly unacceptable.

But, he was put to death to satiate a mob, and to prevent a riot. Clearly that move was right in line with modern DOJ policy—that the highest goal is to maintain social peace, even if the innocent have to be convicted. (Good going there on the part of Pontius Pilate.)
