In the final weeks before Election Day, more than 300 Black churches across Virginia have agreed to play a video in which Vice President Kamala Harris urges churchgoers to vote after the services for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe — a move that some experts claim violates the law.
Some lawyers suggest that the video violates Internal Revenue Service rules for churches that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)3 of the IRS code. It is not clear whether any churches have played it yet.
I'm reasonably sure that most people are aware that church is not the place for politics - Separation of church and state, and all that.
For some folks, however, party politics is their religion.
Whatever party or person does this, it should be discouraged, IMHO. A statement acknowledging contrition from the VP would be a positive step in that direction...I won't hold my breath, however. The tendency in party politics is to circle the wagons and admit no wrongdoing. It's sad, but we are the ones that let our public servants get away with it.
