State Democrats stormed out of the Virginia House chamber Tuesday after a black pastor condemned abortion and gay marriage through prayer.

Rev. Robert M. Grant Jr. of The Father’s Way Church in Warrenton, Virginia, addressed the Democrat-controlled House of Delegates with an opening prayer that condemned abortion and gay marriage, Media Research Center reported. Grant’s prayer caused members to storm out of the chamber and for one member to yell, “Is this a prayer or a sermon?”

The pastor defended his actions by saying the “state house belongs to all the citizens.”

“And all the citizens have a voice,” Grant added. “If it’s my turn to have a voice, and I am a pastor, what do you expect from me? If you don’t want to hear what a pastor has to say, then don’t invite one.”

More examples of tolerance by leftists Democrats. The yelling from the Delegates and actions of the Speaker to shut down the Pastor are more of the same. Their high praise for tolerance, diversity, compassion and fairness have never extended to the opposition.

DemoKKKrats were offended that the prayer was not directed to Satan.

That's what I used to think, but if that were going to happen it would have happened a long time ago.

Why shouldn't Blacks continue to vote for leftist Democrats? They'll never have to deal with the consequences.

It has gotten worse over the years. The Dems have taken the black vote for granted and ignore them in favor of the LGBTQWERTY crowd and their money.

The African Americans now see that Trump and his policies have made a huge difference in their lives in just three years as opposed to 50 years of Dems talking and no progress at all, in fact gotten worse.

I predict a huge chunk of the AA vote will go to Trump. They may ‘split their votes’ and elect a Dem congressperson, but Trump will get the lion’s share................

I agree with what he preached in his prayer, but I always thought the opening prayer was to invite the Lord to help with the meeting, not a time for a long sermon.

He was showboating and most likley did more harm than good. The democrats now have an excuse to remove religion, in the form of prsyer, from the government meeting.

He should have brought out a cross and watched them scatter like rats.

I really cannot understand how anybody born and raised in this country could possibly support the Communist (formerly Democrat) Party. If, for no other reason due to their stance on INFANTICIDE, for crying out loud!! These people are the personification of EVIL! They do nothing at all that could be considered positive, productive or of any redeeming quality, whatsoever.
