Trump called black preacher to scold him for apologizing after posting "Hillary blackface" tweet



A controversial black preacher revealed that President Donald Trump called to scold him for apologizing after posting a tweet showing 2016 Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in blackface.

Pastor Mark Burns revealed the phone call in an interview with The Post and Courier hyping his Republican Party bid for the South Carolina seat being vacated Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-Spartanburg).

“Pastor! Who told you to apologize?” Trump allegedly said in the call. Pastor Burns recounted his apology had previously been requested by Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway.

“Don’t apologize! We don’t apologize! Double down,” Trump reportedly demanded. “Tell them you meant to do it.”

He is a con, fraud, liar and swindler.

Those are the kindest things I can say about him.
