Lately I've been seeing several African American Pastors all over tv shilling for Trump.
And they just make things up about Pres Obama and Hillary spewing hate.
Do you see them as genuine or fake people just on his payroll?

Back in the 90s in the New York metro area, it became known that Christie Todd Whitman, then a Jersey pol, had distributed "walking around money", as it was called, to many black preachers with the understanding that they would endorse her to their congregations.
This is just the latest iteration of an old political tactic.
The good thing is that 99.9% of AAs aren't voting for Trump no matter what a preacher says. We know better. Hell, even those bought-off preachers probably aren't voting for Trump.
