The Real Story Behind That Blacks for Trump Guy At The Arizona Rally NUT CASE !!

- Of course, we should have known.. or that he was paid, had to be one or the other... Turns out he's a NUT CASE !!

Between his signs and his shirt that night, Symonette was also showcasing two websites: blacksfortrump2020.com and gods2.com. Click on either and you’ll be taken to honestfact.com, which spews a range of rambling conspiracy theories.

One claims to link Hillary Clinton with the Islamic State and the criminal gang MS-13. Another declares that “Cherokees are the real KKK Racist Slave Masters, not White Gentiles who are Black Peoples Republican Emancipators!”

-snip-

Symonette has popped up in a number of mugshots as well. His rap sheet lists arrests for racketeering, firebombing, conspiracy in 14 murders, and grand theft auto, the New Times reported in 2011. None of the charges stuck, however.

“I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I don’t support any kind of activity that goes against what God asks us to do,” he told the New Times back then. “You can check my record. I’ve never been convicted of anything.”

-snip -

Symonette’s views have changed over the years. Long after Yahweh ben Yahweh went to prison, his former follower started participating in political protests against Barack Obama. In 2008, Symonette reportedly claimed that then-Sen. Obama had tried to have him assassinated.

Last year, he tried to paint Hillary Clinton as the presidential candidate who was too close to racists, by accusing her of once “kissing the head of the Ku Klux Klan” and saying, “That’s my mentor.” The trouble with that conspiracy theory was that the man Clinton greeted was the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), who by the time she praised him had long since evolved from a one-time member of the KKK to a strong supporter of advancing civil rights.

They can strongly advise but, like security clearances or declassifying material, a person in Trump's position has the final say.

and still he appears at most rallies, gurning and smirking and getting as much publicity for his tawdry cheap websites as he can. Donald must see in him a black Trump-like figure; cheap and nasty with a sort-of-criminal past.
Damned grifters.

Right colour though
