The “Blacks for Trump” guy showed up prominently at Trump’s unhinged speech inboxed Phoenix last night. You’d have to not be watching to miss him. He was described by New York magazine back in October “as a fringe political figure in South Florida, Maurice Symonette, who goes by ‘Michael the Black Man‘”.
He’s apparently a former member of the murderous Yahweh ben Yahweh cult, and for SOME REASON has found himself with front-row seats to Trump events always with his “Blacks for Trump” sign. He has also worn a shirt that seems like irony after Charlottes ville, that says
“Trump & Republicans Are Not Racist”
At a rally lat year in Sanford, Florida, Trump took notice saying,
“I love the signs behind me. Blacks for Trump. I like those signs. Blacks for Trump. You watch. You watch. Those signs are great.”
Symonette’s presence in Arizona is strange, since he is known primarily for appearing at Republican events in the Miami area. He owns BlacksForTrump2020 and told Black Enterprise earlier this year that he’s not paid by Trump at all.
“The fact is I wouldn’t even take any money because you are not going to call me a sellout. From Bush to Allen West to anyone I assisted we did it on our dime. I put my website on [the signs] because they are calling this man a racist and I don’t want to be holding a sign and look like some Uncle Tom sellout without explaining my position.”
His Site Gods2.com leads visitors to HonestFacts.com which one long scroll listing strange conspiracy theories about the Cherokee Indians and Clinton. Like
“Real K K K Slave Master Revealed & is the Cherokee!”
He refers to the Confederate Flag as the “Cherokee Democrat Flag.” & claimed that Barack Obama wanted to kill him. And, of course, he HATES Hillary Clinton telling the Miami New Times,
“One reason is because Hillary’s last name is Rodham, and their family members are Rothchilds, who enslaved 13,000 slaves as collateral. She’s also on camera kissing the head of the Ku Klux Klan and saying, ‘That’s my mentor.’ That’s all on my website.“
OK, So, you can see why Trump likes him. They have the same ideas about things. But since he’s obviously a nut, how does get into a televised event with the POTUS? (The Secret Service cleared him?)
But I guess if you kept people who were crazy out of Trump’s events, you have no audience, or no speaker, for that matter.
