Black People Politics : Doug Wilder, black former Virginia governor, rips Kamala Harris's church ad for McAuliffe

Thank you.
I'm no lawyer, but I don't see a crime.
How did she break the law?

The quoted text above says churches can't do such and such, or they may lose their tax-exempt status.

What did the churches do?

They can't watch a political video?

Did the churches pay for her to do the video?


But in America, white men can kill with impunity - seems that should be a crime, but it is not.

So much for my ability to spot a crime in America.

Thanks for sharing with me.

Love You!

Okay, thank you. It says they should not be involved.

Is there evidence they were involved?

It seems the problem is the audience the ad speaks to, churchgoers...


In the message, Harris urges churchgoers to vote for McAuliffe.
“I believe that my friend Terry McAuliffe is the leader Virginia needs at this moment,” Harris tells viewers, touting Democrats' “long track record of getting things done for the people of Virginia.”
Harris adds: “So please, vote after today’s service. And if you cannot vote today, make a plan to go vote.”
It has drawn criticism from legal and ethics experts.
Politicians have long attended Sunday services in key constituent communities in a transparent bid to court congregations. But the playing of a videotaped endorsement goes too far, said Rob Boston, senior adviser at Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and editor of Church & State magazine.
