    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 :/

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

        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.
