Cash For Votes: Trump PAC Hands Out Big Bucks To Black Community

Also, potentially illegal, Trump's America First group kickstarted "Pastor" Darryl Scott's non-profit, which in turn pays Black people to attend pro-Trump events.


Nothing to see here. Just a Trump organization setting up a group fronted by Black folks to go into Black communities to promise them cash if they attend pro-Trump events. According to CNN, America First Policies is one of the main organizations trying to get Trump re-elected. They donated over $230,000 to help begin the Urban Revitalization Coalition, headed by Cleveland's Darryl Scott — Pastor of the New Spirit Revival Center.

What's the Urban Revitalization Coalition doing with its money? Holding Trump events, promising cash prizes to the Black people who attend the giveaways wherein they're pumped full of propaganda. So, there's that.

According to Sara Murray from CNN:

and how is this a tax-exempt organization? Sounds more like money-laundering than vote buying for an election in November.
