Bad pastor – Steven Anderson, who has now taken to playground-like rants after being banned from South Africa (HERE).
Good pastor – Rev. Faith Green Timmons, who wasn’t about to allow the Bethel United Methodist Church to become another Trump political pawn.
The Orange Menace was appearing in Flint, Michigan, a city that has been brought to its knees by crippling unemployment over the past decade or so.
Mashable with some context:
As [Trump] continued on to talk about the economy and China, he turned to attacking his opponent, Hillary Clinton. At that moment, Rev. Faith Green Timmons, the church’s pastor, interrupted Trump and told him, “Mr. Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we’ve done in Flint, not to give a political speech.”
Awkward – check it:
So is that as bad as it got for Trompies? Nah, that was just the beginning:
One woman shouted that Trump had used discriminatory housing practices in his buildings, an issue over which he was sued by the Justice Department. The celebrity businessman responded: “Never, you’re wrong. Never would”…
Trump spoke for a bit longer and seemed to abruptly end his speech as a man in the crowd began to heckle him.
One woman, Reneta Richard, yelled at him: “What do you mean, ‘African-Americans have nothing to lose?'” She referred to Trump’s recent call for African-Americans to turn their back on Democrats and vote for him.
It looks like the message did hit home – sort of:
Trump mentioned the incident at a later rally in Canton, Ohio, saying, “Some people in those communities aren’t planning on voting for me and that’s OK.”
There’s a giant swathe of the population who won’t be voting for you Donald – I call them ‘educated’ – but luckily for you they don’t make up an overwhelming majority.
The race for the White House is now in top gear, and what a mess it has left in its wake thus far.
