Ah, a story about actual Jesus-esque Christians and not white nationalist MAGAnites.

That's refreshing, thanks Rogers!

Faith leaders performed a crucial role in the Civil Rights Revolution the Republicans are now hell-bent on reversing. They were also involved in Vietnam War opposition. I think what they do in general is broaden the field for discussion and involvement, provide a permission structure.

I'll wager that the turnout of black pastors in Charlotte will be noticeable in a few days. I'll also wager that any ICE creeps handling a black minister like that seen in Chicago will result in a large group of older black women swinging their purses and ending up in jail. Then the game will be on, when African Americans find out what they are losing in their previous support for Der Dotard ...
