Trump Accepts Endorsement From Indicted Gang Members

The "law and order" candidate.
Ron Filipkowski1 hour ago
When indicted gang members / rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow walked into Donald Trump's rally in the Bronx tonight, it was unclear what their intentions were.
On May 16, 2023, Michael Williams (Sheff G) and Tegan Chambers (Sleepy Hallow) were arrested as part of a 32 defendant, 140 count criminal indictment in New York. The indictment included murder, attempted murder, illegal firearm possession, and at least a dozen shootings. The are allegedly part of the 8 Trey Crips and 9 Ways gangs.

In announcing the indictment, Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez said that "Sheff G used a lot of money he earned to facilitate gang activity, encouraging gang members to engage in violent crimes." It is alleged that he rewarded gang members who carried out shootings at his direction with cash, jewelry, and had them appear in his music videos. He is also alleged to have been the getaway driver in at least one shooting. Tegan is also charged with criminal conspiracy in association with several felonies including gun charges.

During Donald Trump's rally speech it became clear what the two indicted alleged gang members were doing there - to endorse the Republican nominee for president. Both Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow were invited up on stage where they praised Trump and said they were supporting him for president. Trump complimented Sheff G on his gold teeth and remarked that he wished he had the same teeth.
