A Donald Trump surrogate who spoke at the Republican National Convention admitted he "overstated several details" of his biography after a CNN segment fact-checked claims made by the pastor.
In a pre-recorded interview with Victor Blackwell on "New Day Weekend," Pastor Mark Burns was asked about his online bio, which included claims that he graduated from North Greenville University, that he served in the Army Reserves, and was a member of Kappa Alpha Psi, a historically African-American fraternity.
In Burns' biography, it said the pastor, who has played a key role in the Republican nominee's outreach to African-Americans, earned a Bachelor of Science degree from North Greenville University. Blackwell asked if Burns attended the university, which he said he did attend, but did not graduate from.
