Pastor of the Black church Trump going to says he wasn't invited to the event at his own church 😂

“I’m Not Invited. I Have Nothing to Do With This.”

We were a little surprised when we read the report that Donald Trump would be visiting North Broad Street’s Greater Exodus Baptist Church on Friday to meet with African-American community leaders. But no one was more surprised than Reverend Herb Lusk, the former Philadelphia Eagles player who has been pastor of Greater Exodus since 1982.

Philly Mag reached Lusk in Mexico, where he is vacationing with his family. According to Lusk, the meeting is not at the church per se, but at an adjacent banquet facility owned by the church’s non-profit.

“There is no doubt that they are paying to be there,” Lusk says. “We do all sorts of weddings and parties and meetings up there. It is a beautiful space.”

Lusk insists that while the name of his church is being thrown around in conjunction with Trump’s Philly visit, he and his church are not involved. (Trump’s camp did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.)

“It’s a business arrangement,” he says. “I’m not invited. I have nothing to do with this. It seems like it’s connected to me, but it’s not connected to me. I haven’t had a single conversation with Trump or his people. It’s a business arrangement. Anyone who wants to have an event at my place can do so — even Donald Trump. [Laughs] This is like a lightning rod.”

2. Phony Trump baloney

This bullshit event needs a bright spotlight on it.
It reveals how fake and manipulative Trump's campaign is.
North Philly ought to give Trump the bum's rush he deserves.

Can you imagine if Hillary pulled these kind of stunts? It would be a solid, all consuming, 3 day story.

6. So how much of the 'congregation' are going to be shipped into this event by the Trump team?

10. Lawrence O tonight disclosed that the whole event

(which is private, no reporters) is scripted. The New York Times got a copy of the script, 12 pages with questions and answers already prepared. It's as phony as the rest of Trump's crap.
