Donald Trump's campaign had been touting a press conference scheduled for today in which Trump supposedly would be receiving the endorsement from 100 black evangelical religious leaders. But as TheBlaze reports, the event was cancelled when it became clear that many of those invited to the event say they had no intention of endorsing the Republican presidential candidate.

“It’s a miscommunication,” said Darrell Scott, the senior pastor of New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, who helped to arrange meetings between Trump and black pastors in recent months. Trump’s campaign “thought it was going to be a press conference for an endorsement when it wasn’t."

That letter stated that “Trump’s racially inaccurate, insensitive and incendiary rhetoric should give those charged with the care of the spirits and souls of black people great pause.” They also expressed concern that the meeting on Monday would “give Trump the appearance of legitimacy among those who follow your leadership and respect your position as clergy.”

Trump has drawn recent criticism for, among other things, suggesting that a black protester involved in a scuffle with Trump supporters at a Birmingham rally "should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing.”
