Black Chicago preacher endorses the GOP candidate for governor of Illinois over the loathsome Pat Quinn…<\/p>\n

…and gets robbed, along with death threats<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Corey Brooks, a South Side pastor featured in an ad endorsing Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner, says he\u2019s moved his family from his home while police investigate an overnight burglary of his church, as well as threatening derogatory phone calls he received which claim he\u2019ll be beaten for being Rauner\u2019s \u201cpuppet.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Brooks rushed to the New Beginnings Church of Chicago after a maintenance employee found the church\u2019s back doors shattered and an estimated $8,000 stolen from a glass charity box, meant to build a community center across from the church.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Democrat apologists will no doubt say that it was just typical street crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How many common thug burglars operate from a political\/racial agenda?\u00a0\u00a0 Emphasis added below:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe death threats seem to be related to [GOP candidate] Bruce Rauner<\/strong>,\u201d Brooks said at the church Saturday. \u201cThey say his name as well as mine and most of the references were in response to me in support of him<\/strong>. So it\u2019s really derogatory, real racial, a lot of homophobic words. It\u2019s real life threatening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooks said he received the five phone calls on Friday. He recorded one of them, and provided it to police. In that call, which was played for the Sun-Times, a man\u2019s voice is disguised via a high-pitched filter<\/strong>. He is heard calling Brooks a \u201ctoken n\u2014\u2013.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How many common burglars in Chicago would you think even know the GOP endorsed a candidate, much less take the time to pitch-shift their voice on the phone?<\/p>\n

Their message sounds a little like Minnesota Progressive Project <\/em>reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe on you boy, we on you. And you ain\u2019t got nobody that can stop us, nobody. Who you go [to] the deacons? They can\u2019t stop us. We going to beat your fat a\u2013 in front of your mama congregation Sunday. Yeah we going to steal the sheep of the hypocrite. You\u2019s a hypocrite we going to beat your fat a\u2013 in front of your own congregation. Who you got that\u2026f\u2014 we going to beat their a\u2013 too. They can\u2019t protect you. You sell out you Uncle Tom a\u2013 n\u2014\u2013. You token. You a puppet for Bruce Rauner you puppet n\u2014\u2013 a\u2013. P\u2014- a\u2013 n\u2014\u2013,\u201d the voice says on the recording.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read the whole, disgusting thing.<\/p>\n

And imagine if it would be different here in Minnesota if a black pastor in North Minneapolis or Frogtown broke from the DFL.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’d bet $20 on “no”, but I’ll forgive you for not taking the bet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
