In more campaign news, Donald Trump was confronted by a pastor while speaking in Flint, Michigan, Wednesday. Trump had been invited by Rev. Faith Green Timmons to speak at the Bethel United Methodist Church. This was Trump’s first visit to Flint, where a lead contamination crisis has poisoned many of the city’s residents, who are predominantly African-American. But when Trump veered off course and began to attack Hillary Clinton over her support for NAFTA, the pastor stepped in.
Donald Trump: “Hillary Clinton supported NAFTA, supported China’s entry into the World Trade Center.”
Rev. Faith Green Timmons: “Mr. Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we’ve done for Flint, not to give a political speech.”
Donald Trump: “Oh, oh, OK. OK, OK, that’s good. And I’m going to go back onto Flint. OK. OK. Flint’s—Flint’s pain is a result of so many different failures.”
Trump rapidly wrapped up his speech.
