the reporting on this could be better which sucks because it’s obvious it’s going to be memeified for months now

was this actually a church sponsored event or was it just being hosted in the building as a venue?

not coming at this with any assumptions or narratives i just wish there was more reliable original data than some twitter links i can’t look at without an account :/

ugh bless you thanks so much

edit, my take: wow that pastor seems like an upstanding guy and i would be nervous for his decision if i didn’t have hindsight and see it played out in a way that clearly only showed his guest’s hypocrisy.

It's still pretty damned telling no black people came to their own church to hear him talk.

He said his parishioners literally laughed in his face when he asked them to come.
