Not true. False. Deceptive.

I've been to many, many churches, and never saw or heard a politician or pastor giving a political stump speech in church. Bogus claim concerning Christians.

Look at prominent Democrats however ...
Louis Farrakhan is an American religious leader, black nationalist, activist, and social commentator. The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League describe Farrakhan as antisemitic and a proponent of an anti-white theology.

Jesse Jackson is an American civil rights activist, Baptist minister, and politician. Jackson and other black leaders have publicly endorsed the Palestinian state, with Jackson calling Israel's prime minister a "terrorist", and then soliciting Arab-American financial support.

Al Sharpton is an American civil rights activist, Baptist minister, television and radio talk show host and a former White House adviser for President Barack Obama.

Jeremiah Wright is a pastor emeritus of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, a congregation he led for 36 years. Following retirement, his beliefs and preaching were scrutinized when segments of his sermons about terrorist attacks on the United States and government dishonesty were publicized in connection with the presidential campaign of Barack Obama.
How many times have I seen Democratic candidates speaking in Black "churches?" Too numerous to count.

Why do only real evangelical churches have to comply with the so-called Johnson Amendment?
