'Betrayed' Black businessman accuses Trump aides of misleading him for a campaign event

Raw Story  

Speaking with both Atlanta News First and News 11 Alive, the Black owner of an Georgia barbershop claimed he was suckered into becoming part of a Donald Trump campaign event after the former president's aides got him to host what he thought would be a private business roundtable aimed at boosting Black businesses. Speaking with ANF, he bluntly stated, "I feel like I have been betrayed,” after stating, "Mind my business and serve and give haircuts back to the community and have good conversations; it’s never been about politics.” According to 11 Alive, "Jones explained how the event came to be: it started with a text message, followed by a phone call while he was out of the country. Instead, the event turned into a crowded affair, with Trump surrogates like Ben Carson and a surprise phone call from Trump himself." This has nothing to do with small Black businesses.” The businessman explained business has been impacted negatively after the video was released.
