“I got Donald Trump’s ear,” Pastor Darrell Scott told a packed house at New Spirit Revival Center on Sunday morning. “He told me, ‘Bring all the programs that you think will benefit the black community, and I’ll take a look.'”
Last month, news broke that Scott had publicly endorsed Trump after organizing a gathering of dozens of black ministers and religious leaders at Trump Tower in New York City. (Trump later told reporters that there was “great love in the room.”)
Back in Cleveland Heights now, Scott spent much of this week’s sermon — a fiery meditation on the Book of Acts — railing against the “liberal media” and the religious institutions that have criticized his recent Trump endorsement. Of note, Scott seemed intent to dispel the perception that Trump speaks and acts from a racist point of view. “There’s a disconnect in the black community about some of the things people perceive,” Scott said, referring to the wide variety of national reaction — in favor and against — to Trump’s rhetoric w/r/t minority populations in the U.S.
One church member told Scene that Scott has long blended political ideas into his Sunday service messages. (“There’s more politics in church than on the [campaign trail],” Scott said on Sunday.) Based on his preaching this weekend, it’s clear that Scott pours passion into every endeavor, and that he won’t be backing down from his support for the Trump campaign.
“I’m not telling none of y’all to vote for him,” Scott said to a room full of applause and Amens, cautioning the wary that he’s not trying to “brainwash” the congregation. “It ain’t that deep.”

It’s a trap!
Good move for the Scotts. Maybe, just maybe, the good Missa Trump will pay off all the Scott’s judgment lines filed by their homeowners association and maybe help them out with their mortgage, which was foreclosed on several times. Good move, indeed!
Nothing like seeing a member of a traditionally discriminated against group endorse a candidate who discriminates almost indiscriminately (just not so much against blacks and Christians, so hey, that’s cool). Anyone who has a problem with this should just look to Trump’s spokesperson, Katrina Pierson, for her deep and thoughtful reaction to your concerns: “So what? They’re Muslim.”
Darrell Scott is the spook that sits by the Donald thump door.The term oreo cookie applies to him.He is the reason black people get mislead when they “SELL” ol master as a good man.JUST HOW STUPID IS THIS PREACHER????
“Pastor” Darrell Scott might as well put on a monkey suit, paint his face black, and do the jig in the middle of Donald Trump’s front lawn. This man is sad, he’s a clown, he has no business leading a congregation, and if I were a member of his church I would politely pack my belongings and quickly exit the door to go look for another church that is lead by a pastor who is more concerned with my spiritual well-being than he is with being in the spotlight of a political arena that supports a man with the character traits that Donald Trump has clearly displayed. Donald Trump is a snake oil salesman and if you were dying of thirst in the middle of a desert, he would sell you a glass of sand and call it water! He’s a bully, a con artist, a racist, a liar, and an opportunist, and to see this “pastor” succumb to serving as a token on a national platform would actually be comical if weren’t so sad and embarrassing. “Pastor”, you represent no one, so please go sit down somewhere.continue being Donald’s “FRIEND”, and spending the money (or favors) that have obviously exchanged hands, but do so quietly and from afar!!
i have just watched the so called Pastor Darrell Scott on CNN. i just had to stop and pray for the people in his congregation who say they are GOD’s people children of Abraham. To sit there and support and put there faith in a ungodly man who not once said anything about what God would want him to say or what he think is best for all GODS PEOPLE . They(the Congregation) will take gods message from a man who supports a man who says the word P***y on National TV then smile…thats deep. Arrogant is the name for the man of overbearing pride who act with scornful effrontery (Proverbs22).I read the bible everyday and we all know as Christians theirs only one place for the wicked, arrogant and greedy(King Pharaoh’ followers) . So i think the only thing we can do now is to pray for our Country and yea also the Pastor.
This guy looks like a crook and supports Trump. What else can I say?
Our own sold us as slave…. Darrell Scott is doing just the same today because of greed. I believed they
didn’t know better back then but you Darrell who called yourself pastor is a disgrace.
This joke Scott is sad and pathetic. How much money did he sell his soul for to become Trump’s Negro token on CNN? It all comes down to money and how much of it Trump gave him. The devil uses money to get his way and Scott the Trump Negro token has become another one of Donald’s boot lickers. He is an embarrassment to black folks and he is disgusting.
