How come ALL democRATS campaign in Black Churches, won’t the white churches let them campaign in their churches??????
I’ve YET TO SEE a Republican candidate campaign in ANY church, wonder why that is? Do the democRATS think Blacks as so dumb and lazy they can’t attend a regular campaign rally?
“won’t the white churches let them campaign in their churches??????”
That is basically true, for the various “white” churches I have attended over 6 decades. Campaigning from the pulpit or in the church is not something that should take place in a house of God.
I have no idea.
Fresh off Nevada win, Clinton heads to historic Harlem church

NEW YORK - Fresh off a caucus victory in Nevada and with the South Carolina primary looming ahead of her, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was back in her home state on Sunday.
The presidential contender attended service at a historic black church in Harlem and later gained the endorsement of the church's well-known pastor.
Clinton received a standing ovation from the congregation at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, founded by a group of Ethiopian sea traders more than 200 years ago. Rev. Calvin Butts, a Clinton supporter, introduced her as someone who "has been our friend."
In her remarks, Clinton told churchgoers how pleased she was to be there on the weekend of Martin Luther King Day, and recounted how she had gone with her church youth group to hear him speak.
"It was a transforming experience for me," she said. "He made it very clear that the Civil Rights movement was about economic justice."

“I’ve YET TO SEE a Republican candidate campaign in ANY church”
You haven’t been paying attention. I am sure the other candidates have as well, but I have been mostly following Fred’s campaign. Right or wrong, campaigning in churches is pretty common among both parties. The link should take you to a pretty good speech that Fred gave recently.
