Washington (CNN)A prominent African-American supporter of Donald Trump tweeted a cartoon portraying Hillary Clinton in blackface that cast her as pandering to black voters.

Pastor Mark Burns, the Trump surrogate who tweeted the image Monday afternoon, told MSNBC that he stands by it. He later apologized for his comments in a Periscope livestream Monday evening.

..............
Clinton has a long history of activism for racial equality, dating back to the civil rights movement, where prominent leaders such as Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, said they met both Hillary and Bill Clinton.

She's discussed systemic racial inequality on the campaign trail, campaigning at times with a group of the mothers of young African-Americans killed by police.

This whole campaign of Trumps is getting more disgusting each day!!


http://www.dailynewsbin.com/news/donald-trump-surrogate-apologizes-for-racist-tweet-about-hillary-clinton/25901/







.....Mark Burns, who identifies himself as a legitimate “pastor” in roughly the same way that Donald Trump identifies himself as a legitimate politician, tweeted a cartoon depicting Hillary Clinton in blackface today. He then followed it up by retweeting a falsified photograph of Hillary Clinton supposedly appearing in blackface at a party, without acknowledging that it was a fake photo. This caused an immediate uproar. Burns called in to Meet The Press Daily a few hours later, and spent the entire time screaming at host Kristen Welker while demanding to know her ethnicity. And yet somehow neither Donald Trump nor anyone in his campaign saw fit to put a stop to their surrogate’s meltdown, or to disavow themselves from his psychotic tweet storm.

Now, for reasons known only to him, “Pastor Burns” has posted a twelve minute video in which he apologized for all of the above. The whole thing appears to have been put together with such haste that even though he was interrupted by phone ringing or a similar noise just twenty seconds into his video, he didn’t bother to stop and start over. And yet even know that Burns is admitting he went stunningly overboard, Donald Trump and his campaign still have nothing to say about the matter. This all comes amid the news that Trump’s favorability with African-Americans has now fallen to literally zero percent. ......



Also--there are some threads from yesterday:

1. When you have nothing left, you just start to slander your opponent with falsehoods

[Lunabell]

2. Of course his surrogate did this.

I am not surprised. I am, however, surprised by the apology.

3. I saw Burns appear opposite Rep. Cleaver on Joy Reid.

His proof that tRump helps Black people and cares about them was that tRump met a Black woman (who's name Burns isn't going to give out while he uses her for 'proof'), who isn't from this country, who is a 'prophetess', and tRump wrote her a check for $50,000 dollars to aid in her ministries, right on the spot.

He's a typical televangelist.

5. Who is this woman?

What is her name, when did this donation happen?

My bs meter went off when I heard that story.

[Mc Mike]

6. 'Rev' Burns is just imitating his hero, no doubt.

I knew he was lying like a good republican 'christian' the second he said 'I don't want to say her name'.

What also struck me was his statement that she is a 'prophetess', because I'd come across that exact same pseudo-religious mumbo jumbo from a non-religious fake 'christian' before.

4. So now a tweet qualifies as news.
