A fake Mormon news site popped up and caused a flurry of controversy throughout Salt Lake City Thursday after the Church of Latter Day Saints met with leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Salt Lake City Tribune reported.
While the meeting with the NAACP was factual, the fake-news site claimed that the church was announcing an official apology for their past racism. For two centuries the church had an institutionalized policy preventing black men of African descent from joining the clergy. To make matters worse, Mormon church founders Joseph Smith and Brigham Young claimed that black skin was part of a “Curse of Cain” or the “Curse of Ham.”
The fake site published what it said was an official apology to people of color.
“I offer a full unqualified apology for the error of racism which was taught from this office and in the tabernacle and over the pulpits of our churches the world over,” LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson was quoted as saying.
The problem, however, is that Nelson never said it. Now the church is in the awkward position of having to tell the public that they have not apologized for their racism.
Wrong-O Donnie…I heard Kelly Anne trying to peddle that crap this morning…We CAN read and hear sweetie…but keep repeating it over and over and over again and I’m sure they’ll be some people over on state run TV that are buying your special brand of BS.
He thinks we’re too dumb to know how coached up public officials are when it comes to sound bites- don’t give them any fuel. The average sensible person would understand that the speaker was referring to MS-13- but it’s trump. He called them rapists. Said some of them are probably good people.
He purposefully did not discern between illegals and gangsters and needs to have his balls busted. He also needs to finally realize that he will NEVER be the smartest person in the room.
This guys a sick F-ing joke. No wonder no one will listen and or deal with the guy…his word is shit b/c he wont take responsibility for even his own words…So he creates his own reality as he pleases…and anyone or thing critical of him doesn’t exist…
Damn no wonder everything he touches turns to shit…
The GOP is sending the worst to be president, rapists, sexual predators, serial liars, corrupt thieves, racists, hateful angry buffoons, and some, I assume, good people.
What I think is extraordinary is how Trump - and many other members of the GOP - can lie about something that is so demonstrably false, as if video or audio doesn’t exist, almost like this is taking place in 1918 and not 2018, when it would take forever for his words to reach the general populace of America, and by the time they did no one would care about it anymore. But these are stupid, blatant, outright falsehoods. They were not leaked in some “private” meeting like the remarks about a dying John McCain. These words were said at a much White House-ballyhooed event in California that Trump had with a bunch of his fellow bigots and racists. And now Shameless Sarah, the Unibrow of Sauron, tries to spin the words to include a Latin American gang that would have to increase in size to about 43,000,000 people in order to do 10% of the damage to our nation already done by the republican Party.
It’s almost like if I were standing over a bloody body with 72 stab wounds while holding a butcher knife, and saying to the police detectives, “Yeah, I think he OD’d on heroin. He was a big heroin addict, you know.”
The #1 reason Preshitident Skanky Manslut has resorted to calling American immigrants animals is because of projection and displacement.
He is pissed off with Melaria Trump for being an immigrant, model, architect, dancer, pornstar and street smart businesswoman. His dirty spawn Iwanka has been palling around with a whole bunch of the Russian mafia thugs and Azerbaijani terrorist groups most of her life. Don Jr. was palling around with MS-13 gang members.
