WATCH: Black Pastor Who Supports Trump Gets NAILED with FACTS – Has NO Response

As you no doubt know by now, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been courting the African-American vote by suggesting that:

“African American communities are in the worse shape than they have never been in before…ever, ever, ever.”

Of course, Trump’s statement conveniently ignores previous periods of Black history which involved such niceties as Jim Crow laws, public lynchings, and that little several hundred-year-old chapter of American history called chattel slavery, but it’s Trump, so of course facts don’t matter.

In a CNN segment a couple of days ago, host Alisyn Camerota mediated (sort of) a conversation between yet another Trump-supporting Black pastor, James Davis, and rising Democratic star, Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed.

The conversation was a mess.

CNN and Mayor Reed continued to demonstrate using facts, that Trump’s statement was just factually incorrect.

The Trump-loving pastor, true to Trump-loving form, ignored all facts in favor of the narrative in his own head.

Toward the end of the segment, tired of being interrupted, a clearly annoyed Mayor Reed lowered the boom:

“Ma’am am I going to get to speak this morning or are you going to let the pastor sit and do his uninterrupted diatribes? The unemployment rate has been cut in half. More black people are graduating from high school than ever before. More black people are in college than ever before.”

The pastor tried to butt in again, but was finally successfully thwarted by Ms. Camerota, allowing Mayor Reed to continue his lesson:

“Ten percent more black people in the United States have health insurance than ever before. The fact of the matter is, if you look at the statistics that we measure how well people are doing by, black people have done better in the last eight years then they did in the previous twenty.”

Pastor Davis then response in classic – but at least in accidentally honest – Trump fashion:

“Huh?! I’ll give you an unscientific uh..an unscientific uh…”

Mayor Reed smashed that little blurb out of the park:

“I’m sure you will give me an unscientific response because you can’t give a real answer.”

Class dismissed.
