Stuff at TPM becomes such a rush and we’re so busy just before an election that I often don’t even know we’re working on a story until I see it on the site. I was glad we got on this one. We told you yesterday how there was an ecstatic white woman holding a “Blacks for Trump” sign behind Trump as he spoke in Florida. But the guy who runs “Blacks for Trump” (he’s black at least) is the former member of a violent cult who runs a bizarre extremist group (how many members over one is not clear) which mixes your standard extremist right wing crazy with his own mini-cult with obscurantist religious views. And this guy has managed to get placed behind Trump in a number of major speeches! Here’s the story.
