The Daily Mail reported this morning that Donald Trump believes Black Lives Matter may have had a hand in a group of African-American pastors pulling their supposed endorsement of him for the U.S. presidency. According to the U.K.-based publication, Trump was on today’s Morning Joe program on MSNBC, saying, “Probably some of the Black Lives Matter folks called them up and said, ‘Oh, you shouldn't be meeting with Trump because he believes all lives matter.’”
Oh, Donald. Really? Um, no, dear, that would not be the reason why.
This all started last week, when Trump’s camp stated that he would be meeting with a group of 100 African-American pastors and that afterward, they would be endorsing him in in his presidential bid.
Once word of that leaked out, it was not met with a favorable response.
