Clinton Speaks At Puerto Rican Church
Presidential candidates continue the practice of speaking from church pulpits on Sunday mornings, despite IRS concerns over implied political endorsements by non-profit organizations. Yesterday, according to the AP, Hillary Clinton "offered a spiritual defense for continuing her presidential campaign" as she spoke to the congregation at the Pabellon de la Victoria evangelical church in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico. The appearance began with an hour of religious singing and dancing led by a band and chorus. It is unclear whether the church also invited other candidates to appear.
