Burns tweeted it with a caption poking fun at Clinton: “Black Americans, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTES and letting me use you again”. It’s a reference to Clinton – a well-known spicy food lover – saying on the hip-hop show “The Breakfast Club” in April, ahead of the NY primary, that she always carries hot sauce with her.

Pastor Mark Burns, a supporter of Trump who met with the NY businessman last week, said: “Mr. Trump will answer questions that are relevant to the African-American community such as education, unemployment, making our streets safe and creating better opportunities for all”.
Burs said, “I regret the offensiveness of the black face”, but not the message of the tweet.
The long-term implications of the two candidates’ decisions could change the future electoral landscape, as Hillary Clinton is building to turn red states blue, while Donald Trump burns money on delusions of blue states that will never flip into his column.
“The number of voters who can not bring themselves to voice a positive opinion of either presidential nominee is more than three times higher than in any other election in recent memory”.
Burns, who spoke at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, apparently removed the tweet and later posted a message apologizing for “my Twit that many found to be offensive”.
In it, she is also wearing a shirt that says “No hot sauce no peace!”
A thought bubble shows the cartoon version of Clinton thinking: “I ain’t no ways exhausted of pandering to African Americans”.
His role has only taken on more importance in recent weeks as Mr Trump’s campaign has attempted to woo black voters, who overwhelmingly back Mrs Clinton. I still believe Hillary Clinton and the Democrat party pander to black people. We know that, while Trump has defied political gravity, it does still exist.
From the perspectives of citizens of other countries, and in particular those of Latin American and the Caribbean, it probably goes without saying that there is preference for the Democratic candidate, a situation deriving not simply from a relatively traditional bias, but also, importantly, from the fact that her practical, as distinct from verbal, record, unlike that of Trump, is relatively well known. We, the people, should at least have a say in how you vote. I’m a completely separate individual.
A vote for Donald Trump will not hurt you; a vote for Donald Trump may even help you.
Burns told MSNBC he was “speaking as a black man”.
Also Monday, former KKK Grand Wizard and now U.S. Senate candidate David Duke released a campaign robocall, linking himself to Trump.

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News Sunday morning that Trump planned meetings in inner city churches throughout the rest of the campaign. There’s plenty of time for Trump to catch and surpass Clinton in the polls, and it’s entirely possible that this race could end up extremely close like the 2000 race between Al Gore and George W. Bush that was effectively decided by 500 voters in Florida.
