It is pretty basic knowledge that pastors and churches aren’t allowed to endorse candidates for public office.

Do you have a direct quote from Trump or his campaign saying that the pastors would endorse him?

As individuals, pastors can endorse anyone; churches are not to do so, as that would put their IRS exemption at risk.

Although, for black churches, the IRS gives them a pass, and just goes after white churches for such violations.

Actually, they are allowed to endorse candidates and many more should. Link

“It is pretty basic knowledge that pastors and churches aren’t allowed to endorse candidates for public office.”

It’s also pretty basic knowledge that Black pastors are exempt if the the candidate they endorse is a Democrat.

Really? When has that stopped black churches? EVER? They are admitting that down the road they will endorse someone....you can’t see that? and what are these “Pastors” if stupid names like coon and uncle tom makes them wilt...big, tough followers of the Lord i guess...perfect example of the root cause of blacks in this country.....right at the very CORE! Cowards that go along to get along...tithes may dry up or side pieces of ass in the congregation... I love those black pastors that have balls and tell it like it is and also walks the walk with the Lord.

[Pastors and churches aren’t allowed to endorse candidates for public office.]

Pastors can individually endorse candidates. They just can’t tell their congregations how to vote.
