OH, WHAT RICHARD HOFSTATDER IS MISSING...:
Trump Affiliates With Pastor and Sandy Hook Truther Whose Website Discusses the 'Muslim Problem' (Jonathan Zalman, March 8, 2016, The Tablet)
Today, we focus our attention on a report from media watchdog Media Matters that details the connection between Trump and Carl Gallups, a pastor at Hickory Hammock Baptist Church in Milton, FL, and radio host, who is also a Sandy Hook truther. In a press release, Trump's campaign called Gallups "incredible." He gave the opening prayer at a Trump rally in January....ahead of the state's March 15 Republican primary; the campaign invited Gallups to speak at a rally and touted his endorsement as a "great honor" from a "prominent" leader. Gallups is a fringe conspiracy host who believes the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT, was a "staged" "hoax" and that the father of one of the victims was an "actor employed by the Obama administration to take away your guns."I wonder what the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook shootings would have to say about this "hoax."
