The 180 Church, led by Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, opened its doors to Trump to spread more of his lies.

'Blacks for Trump' Co-Chairs Diane Black and MarshaBlackburn. We've compiled all of the lies Trump continues to tell of what he's done for the black community. Also during the discussion, Trump talked about how dangerous Black communities are. "...
