A Black barbershop owner in Buckhead, GA, was misled into hosting a round table event for Donald Trump. Trump aides did not identify themselves and told the owner it was going to be an event about small businesses in the community. The owner, identified as Jones of Rocky's Barbershop, expressed feeling betrayed when Trump called in. The Trump campaign subsequently attacked the owner after he told the media about the misleading nature of the event. Byron Donalds and Wesley Hunt were also called out for not informing the owner about Trump's involvement.
