[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Kamala Harris Appears in Law-Breaking Video Because Nothing Matters Anymore
[REDSTATE] When it comes to politics, nothing matters anymore. At least, thatās true as long as you are a Democrat, and KĆ”mala Harris
 Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism or misogyny or something like that. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's, and bimbo votes. She's an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge
illustrated that perfectly yesterday with the release of a law-breaking video. In it, she clearly endorses Terry McAuliffe to be Virginiaās next governor, which is technically allowed for the vice president because sheās exempt from the Hatch Act. Yet, itās where the video is going to be played that should lead to legal consequences.
Of course, the keyword there is "should" because we all know nothing is going to happen here.
This would be a national scandal if a Republican down to dogcatcher did it.
These churches playing this video, which is not only political but actually endorses a candidate, is a clear violation of the Johnson Amendment which prohibits tax-exempt churches from engaging in the direct or indirect promotion of a candidate for office. Hereās the legal definition per NPR.
Under terms of the 1954 legislation (named for its principal sponsor, then-Sen. Lyndon Johnson), churches and other nonprofit organizations that are exempt from taxation "are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office," according to the IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
website.
Harrisā video could not meet the above definition anymore perfectly if she tried. Had she simply encouraged people to vote, this likely would have passed muster (as sketchy as that would be on its own), but she went much further than that. While thereās sometimes ambiguity when Democrat politicians campaign in black churches, a common occurrence, Harris endorses McAuliffe and spends half the video singing his praises. If thatās not a violation of the Johnson Amendment, then nothing is. And thereās little argument that the church is promoting her message from the pulpit when they are choosing to play the video without a counter from Glenn Youngkin.
