Washington and Lee University misapplied IRS rules to prohibit College Republicans from promoting Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidate, according to campus free-speech watchdog FIRE. They have allowed it — there is precedent. Democrats were allowed to do it.
By contrast, hundreds of churches in Virginia appear to be violating the 1954 federal law that WLU claims to be following.
They are airing a political ad by Vice President Kamala Harris through election day that urges churchgoers to vote for McAuliffe, even though the so-called Johnson Amendment bans 501(c)(3) organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates.
Watch the ‘courageous’ Terry McAuliffe run away in the first clip when he is asked about the Loudoun County rape case. Virginia voters, you can’t really trust a coward.
McAuliffe hopes she’s vaccinated??? That’s the best he could come up with?

He’s an authoritarian, by the way:
Just a reminder that Terry McAuliffe doesn’t think you should have a say in your childs education.
This is why we MUST elect @GlennYoungkin.

DemocRATs can only win by lying and cheating.
“Thumb on the scale….” Who knew.
As long as Republicans (and Americans, in general) tolerate this blatant election interference we kind of get what we deserve. As the old saying goes, “you can’t rape the willing.”
The Johnson Amendment should be Un-Constitutional. A Preacher should be able to speak his mind from the Pulpit just as Congressmen can from the Floor. The crackdown on religion in the last few years is total Government overreach.
