In a recent attempt to mend her image with Christian voters, Kamala Harris attended a church service led by Pastor Jamal Bryant, a man known for his infidelity.
This move comes amidst criticism of Harris' own husband's alleged indiscretions. Harris not only attended the service at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church but also addressed the congregation, lauding the church and its attendees. The church, according to Bryant, has been graced by the presence of five presidents.
As reported by The Post Millennial, Harris found herself in hot water when Christians attending her rally were escorted out after proclaiming "Jesus is Lord." Her response to the incident, "You are at the wrong rally," was met with cheers from the crowd and subsequently went viral. During her address to the congregation, Harris referenced the parable of the good Samaritan from the gospel of Luke, questioning whether all people of faith truly embody the teachings of "love thy neighbor as thyself." She also touched upon her personal faith, a topic that is seldom discussed on her campaign trail.
This incident followed a controversial video featuring Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Harris campaign surrogate, and left-wing influencer Liz Plank. The video, which appeared to mock the sacrament of Communion using a Dorito, was met with heavy criticism from the Catholic community.
Viewers of Bravos Housewives series were quick to point out that Bryant, the pastor of the church Harris attended, has a history of infidelity. During her address, Harris spoke about the "sacred right to vote" and "getting souls to the polls." She also mentioned her own church in San Francisco and acknowledged her pastor, who was present at the service. The All Things Theology podcast noted that Harris' speech "raised eyebrows," suggesting that her political statements intertwined with biblical references could be seen as an attempt to manipulate scripture to align with her political agenda.
Bryant, who admitted to cheating on his ex-wife Gizelle Bryant, a cast member on Bravo's reality TV series The Real Housewives of Potomac, also fathered a child with a 17-year-old and was forced to pay child support by a court. Harris' choice to attend Bryant's church is intriguing, given her husband Doug Emhoff's alleged history of infidelity.
Emhoff, who reportedly had an affair with his family's nanny and fathered her child, has also been accused of physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, allegations he has not denied.
Despite his own history of infidelity, Bryant criticized men for not supporting Harris during the rally at his church, stating, "In order for me to be a man I gotta know how to support a woman," and adding, "Something is wrong with brothers who don't know how to support a sister." This statement, along with Harris' recent actions, raises questions about the sincerity of her attempts to connect with religious communities and the potential misuse of the church as a platform for political gain.
