PHOENIX — He's been seen several times at President Donald Trump events, usually behind the commander in chief.
You can't miss his "BLACKS FOR TRUMP" sign and his T-shirt that has his website – Gods2.com – advertised on it.
But who is the Trump supporter who calls himself "Michael the Black Man," aka Michael Symonette, Mikael Israel and Maurice Woodside?
According to the Washington Post, he's a "radical fringe activist from Miami (who) once belonged to a violent black supremacist religious cult, and he runs a handful of amateur, unintelligible conspiracy websites."
His brother said Michael quit the cult after their mother died. He also claimed that Michael helped beat a man who was then taken to the Florida Everglades and beheaded.
"In the 1990s, he was charged, then acquitted, with conspiracy to commit two murders," the Post reported.
