Organizers have begun holding events in black communities where they lavish praise on the president while handing out thousands of dollars in giveaways
A nonprofit created to support President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies donated more than $230,000 to a group that recently awarded cash prizes to black attendees at a Cleveland event they billed as a Christmas “cash giveaway.”
America First Policies, the nonprofit arm of a pro-Trump super PAC which was started by former Trump campaign aides, issued a $238,000 grant to the Urban Revitalization Coalition Inc., in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, according to its 2018 tax return first published by the Center for Public Integrity. The charity, co-founded by Pastor Darrell Scott and Kareem Lanier, handed out thousands of dollars in cash as part of an event promoted as a “Christmas Extravaganza.” Other cash giveaways by the organization have been said to be planned.
