Church pastor shuts down Donald Trump speech for attacking Hillary Clinton

The Republican candidate was in Flint, Michigan (a majority African-American city) on Wednesday to appeal to black voters to supporting his campaign for president.

Flint is home to a major water crisis which has contaminated the city's supply making it toxic.

"Hillary failed on the economy. Just like she's failed on foreign policy. Everything she touched didn't work out. Nothing. Now Hillary Clinton --," Mr Trump said before he was cut off by Reverend Faith Green Timmons.

"Mr. Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we've done in Flint, not give a political speech," she said.

"OK. That's good. Then I'm going back onto Flint, OK?" Mr Trump replied who seemed to have been completely caught off guard.

Following the interuption Mr Trump was heckled by a member of the audience claiming the real-estate mogul "discriminated against black tenants," to which Mr Trump replied "No, I never, never would never would."

Rev Timmons once again stepped in but this time Mr Trumps defence.

"This is my church and you will respect him."
