He's set to speak to two Chicago churches this afternoon Since WHEN is it legal to campaign in churches?
It's a abridgement of the freedom of speech to prevent it.

It's a abridgement of the freedom of speech to prevent it.It is still illegal to do. The only reason he gets away with it is because he's a rat.

It's a abridgement of the freedom of speech to prevent it. Tax laws restrict churches and tax-exempt charities from supporting political candidates. By allowing a candidate to speak, it is seen as support, which is illegal

It is perfectly legal for a church, or any other organization, to speak out for, or against, any candidate or party (with some exceptions). The first amendment preserves that right.
However, that organiztion may lose its tax exempt status if it participates in prohibited polictical activities. In other words, the donors to that organization would not be able to deduct those donations from their taxable income.
