Brother of Slain Civil Rights Leader Medgar Evers Has Endorsed Donald Trump

Civil rights leader Charles Evers, the brother of slain civil rights martyr Medgar Evers, has announced his support for Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.

“I believe in him first of all because he’s a businessman. I think jobs are badly needed in Mississippi,” Evers said.

In response to allegations that Trump is a racist and that he had actively removed black students from one of his recent rallies, Evers said, “I haven’t seen any proof of him being a racist.”

“All of us have some racism in us. Even me,” he added.

Evers counts Donald Trump’s strict statements on illegal immigration among the key reasons for his endorsement.

Evers said he will be in attendance at Donald Trump’s rally on Monday in Madison, Mississippi. The 93-year-old wants to talk to Trump about bringing a catfish processing plant to Mississippi.

It will be so good to have the nation all on the same team instead of fragmenting to hell :D

Most the media is pretending that this is not news worthy. Oh, but it most certainly is!

Good news for Trump, not only in Mississippi, but across the states. Evers still a big name with minorities.

The old “tar a candidate by those who endorse him.”

Sophomoric and, in the case of Trump, backfireish.

The more the MSM and eGOP hate him the more I like him.

Now, if he can only get the brothers of Tinker and Chance to endorse him, he’ll have something.

Funny thing is if you walked into Ferguson and asked 100 blacks who Medgar Evers was, unless you majored in black studies, they wouldn’t have a clue. Because if they did, blacks would never vote for a Democrat.

He should have renamed himself “Sho Nuff 27” or somesuch.

The elites are circling their wagons against a disruptor like Trump, who will put American jobs ahead of the Cheap Labor Express. The racist tag is the latest attempt.

Mr. Evers is an honest man. Something that's sorely in short supply in D.C. I hope he gets his catfish processing plant. Southern fried catfish is the tastiest dish you've ever had!

Tinker and Chance (you hit my funnybone with your post, I must say)? What about Steinfeldt? Now that would be an endorsement!
