Terry McAuliffe Actually Posts Pics of Himself Campaigning in Churches – RedState

We’ve been covering how Democrats have been completely ignoring the law — the Johnson Amendment pertaining to churches not being allowed to campaign for a particular candidate.

A video was sent to 300 Virginia black churches to promote Terry McAuliffe’s candidacy for governor. It was shown to the parishioners in those three days. But that wasn’t all. Stacey Abrams was joined by Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms and Terry McAuliffe to visit churches personally.

Not only didn’t they seem at all concerned about flouting the law, they even announced what they were doing and it was reported they would be leading people “straight from the pews to the polls” to vote. If that isn’t a violation of that law, I’m not sure what is when the promotion is this explicit.

McAuliffe, governor from 2014 to 2018 and a former Democratic National Committee chairman, visited separate Black churches and later planned to lead worshippers from the pews to an early voting station.https://t.co/y2LsMUvxXk

But in case all that wasn’t enough, we have just a bit more: Terry McAuliffe’s “the churches I just named for the IRS” tour today.

This sure seems like campaigning directly from the pulpit.

Now not only is this illegal and inappropriate, it’s also just tacky to force your congregants to have to listen to these politicians. Notice no place where he went looked packed and I’m guessing that may be a reason why. Plus, if anyone really thinks that McAuliffe and Kamala Harris are particularly appealing to black voters I’m thinking they may want to reconsider that thought. But they obviously didn’t care about placing the churches in any kind of legal trouble. They care only about power and McAuliffe’s election.

While CNN and some other media reported on the Kamala video going to the churches, they didn’t report on the illegality of the action of promoting McAuliffe. They forgot to include this crucial information.

@CNNReporting the incident was completed @VP’s endorsement video in churches as simply a campaign tactic to help Terry McAuliffe.

This is a federally prohibited act. https://t.co/S1ZsHwj83B pic.twitter.com/CV2OlYj9sG

So will anything be done about this, especially when it’s so blatant? Or will the magic “D” for Democrats mean nothing is done?
