I compiled statements by Black pastors who met with @realDonaldTrump at a meeting about "prison reform." Many are back peddling and remixing what was said after the scathing backlash at their failure to confront Trump on his hateful rhetoric, bigotry and divisive policies. THREAD

“Thank you for your heart for all people”
“Thank you for your leadership”
“Thank you for being compassionate and caring for all people”

Don’t be duped by those who are trying to save face because they are now embarrassed. There were no “uncompromising voices,” only sycophants who incessantly praised a racist demagogue who is completely unconcerned with prison reform. Read the transcript.

After you read the transcript, watch the video. The meeting was a “praise Trump fest.” There were no prophetic voices to be found at the table.
