Roland Martin Deconstructs Trump's June 2024 "Black" Church Roundtable That Was Almost Totally Attended By White MAGAs



Roland S. Martin, June 18, 2024 "Saturday, Trump hosted a roundtable discussion at a Black church on the outskirts of downtown Detroit.

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

One of Trump's former advisors, Kellyanne Conway, lied on Fox News about how many attended the event.

The church couldn't even hold that many people, and from the looks of it, there were mostly white people in attendance.

'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. "...

The insinuation of how many and what race is the problem that was being addressed.
