Candidate Accused Of Trying To Buy Black Vote After Ministers’ Endorsement
Scott Lee Cohen, an independent candidate for Governor of Illinois has been accused of trying to buy Black votes after he was endorsed by a group of Black ministers. The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
But on Wednesday, 12 local pastors came together to publicly endorse Scott Lee Cohen, the Independent in the race.
The millionaire pawnbroker has contributed $6 million of his own money to his campaign for governor.
That has fueled rumors that Cohen is buying black support.
Last week, the Rev. Gregory Lee told CBS-2 that one of Cohen’s supporters told him that he would get at least $500 if he publicly backed Cohen. The video was on “Capitol Fax,” a well-read political blog.
