Senior pastor Chris Hodges had liked tweets by Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, July 16, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Local government authorities ended a partnership with a Christian church in Alabama offering outreach programs at public housing communities after a senior pastor was criticized online for liking several conservative-based memes.

The church also was banned from leasing public high schools for its worship services.

According to a report by AL.com, senior pastor Chris Hodges was first denounced by high school English teacher Jasmine Faith Clisby, who pointed out on Facebook that “Hodges, founder of the Church of the Highlands, repeatedly ‘liked’ social media posts by (Charlie) Kirk.”

Kirk is the founder and president of Turning Point USA, a national student movement promoting the principles of free markets and limited government among young people.

Clisby does not even attend services at that church and admitted that she was “not saying he’s a racist. I’m saying he likes someone who post (sic) things that do not seem culturally sensitive to me.”

Kirk has argued frequently on Twitter that the concept of “white privilege” does not exist in reality, and instead talked about a “good choice privilege.” According to Kirk, making three good choices would lead to a person not living in poverty in America: graduating high school, getting a job, and getting married before having kids.

What sort of evil person goes through all the trouble of pulling up somebody else’s Twitter account to see what tweets that person has liked?

By the way, Ms. Clisby restricted her own Twitter account. You’re not allowed to see what posts she likes.
