Ohio Pastor Claims Chicago Gangs Want To Work With Trump To Fight Crime

 

CHICAGO (CBS) — The founder and pastor of a megachurch in Ohio told President Donald Trump he has spoken to gang leaders in Chicago who want to work with the White House to reduce violent crime.

 

 

Dr. Darrell Scott, senior pastor of New Revival Center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was a guest of Trump’s at an African-American History Month meeting at the White House. He said he is a “black Trump supporter,” and claimed he was “contacted by some of the top gang thugs in Chicago for a sit-down.”

 

 

Taking a swipe at former President Obama, who began his political career as a community organizer in Chicago, Scott said the gangs “want to work with the administration … they believe in this administration; they didn’t believe in the prior administration. They told me this outta their mouths.”

 

 

“They reached out to me, because they’re associating me with you. They respect you. They believe in what you’re doing, and they want to have a sit-down about lowering that body count. So in a couple weeks, I’m going into Chicago,” Scott said. “I said we’ve got to lower that body count. We don’t want to talk about anything else; get that body count down, and they agreed that the principals that can do it – these are guys straight from the streets, no politicians, straight street guys – but they’re going to commit that if they lower that body count, we’ll come in and we’ll do some social programs.”

 

 

Trump said, “I think that’s a great idea, because Chicago is totally out of control.”

 

 

“If they’re not going to solve the problem — and what you’re doing is the right thing — then we’re going to solve the problem for them, because we’re going to have to do something about Chicago, because what’s happening in Chicago should not be happening in this country,” Trump added.

 

 

Chicago had more than 760 murders in 2016, the highest number in 19 years. The first month of 2017 saw that trend continue, with 51 homicides in January, one more than January 2016.

 

 

Scott said the gang members who reached out to him want to work with Trump.

 

 

“They see hope with you,” he said.

 

 

Trump said, “I think that’s great.”

 

 

Last week, Trump threatened in a Tweet that he would “send in the feds” if Chicago couldn’t get a grip on its violent crime issues.

Unique.

 

But it does sound a bit like the Mexican cartels offering to patrol the border, or the wall.

 

Slippery slope were it to be pursued at best.

Wouldn't hurt to have someone meet with them. Then you could get a firsthand view how full of poopy they are.

Well, this sounded odd from the beginning...with good reason.

 

The pastor says he did NOT talk to gang leaders. Said "lack of sleep" caused him to misspeak.

Why would any gang leader in Chicago contact a priest in Cleveland in order to talk to Trump?

 

Not to mention, ZERO gang members in Chicago are going to relate to Trump more than Obama. I mean come on, seriously?

 

And the left are the sheep... :lol:

Well it's evidently fake, but it was also such a stupid premise to begin with as to be almost unbelievable anyway. I mean how would these talks go, one gang leader says "hey we going to cut the murders from 60 a month to 50". Other leader says "yo I think we can cut it to 45". I mean really?

Why, because he lived in the Chicago or some other reason.

Becuase he lived in Chicago for one. And for two because name me one way Trump is similar to a gang member/leader in Chicago? What's parts of life could Trump possibly share?

Same could be said for Hawaii raised, Private Schooled and Ivy League educated President Obama also. What do they have in common with President Obama? I never said Trump related to them, I'm questioning how President Obama does. He may have lived in Chicago, but he didn't live in THAT world.

I guess one could argue that if President Trump is as despicable and deplorable as many think, that he absolutely would have more in common with the deplorable gangs than President Obama....

He's black. For one.

Okay.

He's black. For one.

 

Didn't realize all of the Chicago gangs were black.

He is implying that all Chicago gang members are black, and favor identity politics. Because, we all know that by gosh, only same skin color can relate to each other.
