Detroit pastor thanks Trump for visiting the 'hood,' says Biden, Obama 'never came'

Detroit Pastor Lorenzo Sewell of 180 Church thanked former President Donald Trump for visiting what he called the "hood," and he pointed out that neither President Joe Biden nor former President Barack Obama made the trip.

"President Obama never came to the 'hood, so-to-speak, right? President Joe Biden, he went to the big NAACP dinner, but he never came to the 'hood. So thank you," Sewell said Saturday during a roundtable discussion that Trump had with black leaders in Detroit.

Trump announced multiple endorsements from high-profile black community leaders ahead of his meeting in Michigan.

Biden spoke at the NAACP's Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner last month in Detroit, according to Fox News.

Meanwhile, while Trump spoke Saturday in Detroit, Biden and Obama were in Los Angeles for a fundraiser that raised about $30 million for the Biden campaign, a record for a single Democratic Party fundraising event, according to CBS News.
