The "Blacks for Trump" Guy at Trump Rallies Is Former Yahweh Ben Yahweh Cult Member

NOTE: this same murderous asshole was seen at today's Phoenix rally too. Seems he's at a lot of SHitler rallies. The below article is from a Florida rally in 2016...



Conservative Twitter is abuzz this afternoon with a trending hashtag: #BlacksForTrump. The spark is clear: Thousands have retweeted photos from Trump's rally in Lakeland, Florida this afternoon showing a small group standing directly behind the Donald while enthusiastically waving "Blacks for Trump" signs.

"Blacks are for Trump and the left can't stand it," writes @LawlessPirate, with another pic of the sign-waving man wearing a shirt reading "Trump & Republicans Are Not Racist

So who is this new face of Trump's elusive black support?

He's none other than Michael the Black Man, also known as Maurice Woodside or Michael Symonette, who has made waves in Miami in recent years with protests against the Democratic Party and rallies for the GOP.

He's also a former member of the murderous Yahweh ben Yahweh cult, which was led by the charismatic preacher Hulon Mitchell Jr., who was charged by the feds in 1990 with conspiracy in killings that included a gruesome beheading in the Everglades.

. . .

In the years that followed, he changed his last name to Symonette, made a career as a musician, started a radio station in Miami and then re-invented himself as Michael the Black Man, an anti-gay, anti-liberal preacher with a golden instinct for getting on TV at GOP events. He's planned events with Rick Santorum and gotten cable news play for bashing Obama.

Since 1997, he's been charged with grand theft auto, carrying a weapon onto an airplane and threatening a police officer, but never convicted in any of those cases.

Someone in Trump's team is paying him to be a stage prop, buying his plane tickets, paying for his hotels and meals.

Trump is using him to make it appear like it is a diverse crowd. And he is using Trump to advertise his murderous cult's website address.

They are making a big deal about the fact that one black guy is at a Trump rally. One of the posters wrote "Black people are for Trump and the left cannot stand it". One again, there was one black guy in a sea of white people. Hillary Clinton got about 89% of the black vote in the election. I am not sure black people are for you if you get, at most, only 11% of the vote from black people.

Rachel Maddow did a whole segment on this guy and his murderous cult during the campaign, because they were a fixture at Trump rallies.
