"Corey Brooks pastors a church in Chicago's South Side. He also happens to be black. Recently, ABC News reported Sunday, he joined a group of black pastors who support GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner over Democrat Pat Quinn. As a result, he has received death threats, hateful voicemails and has had to move his family to a safe house. Additionally, his church has been vandalized and large amounts of money earmarked for charities has been stolen.

"Brooks said that he received five threatening messages on Friday that he turned over to police. The messages, ABC added, were homophobic and contained racial slurs.

" 'We own you and you ain't got nobody that can stop us," one message said. "Nobody!' "
