Warning: It makes Lee Mercer Jr. look rational and dignified.
The leader appears to be some guy named Maurice Symonette and he appears to have a grudge against various local officials in the Miami-Dade County government. I have no idea what the background is, because he just appears to be crazy. Literally.
But, hey, some people waive "Blacks for Trump" signs at a Trump rally and the Trump campaign obviously thinks its making inroads amongst the African American community.
