Angry VA House Democrats cut off Black pastor, storm out as he prays against abortion and gay marriage
2020-02-13
[Right Scoop] Rev. Robert M. Grant Jr., who pastors The Father’s Way Church in Warrenton was invited to pray before the Virginia House of Delegates yesterday morning and gave Democrats an earful as he prayed for over five minutes, condemning both abortion and gay marriage in his prayer. I’ve got it cued up to 3:36 where he begins praying against abortion:

Democrats got so annoyed by his prayer that one of them shouted "Is this a prayer or a sermon?" about the point he starts praying against gay marriage.

According to MRC, some Democrats walked out of the chamber. That isn’t visible on the video, but what you do see in the background is the Speaker banging the gavel to stop the prayer before it’s done and proceed to the Pledge of Allegiance. The pastor’s mic is cut and he slowly realizes what’s going on.

Here’s some of what he prayed:

#7  From the pews rang a Democrat rant:
"This isn't the usual 'can't!'"
[Psst! Mr. Jones, wake up! You're on!]
"But I sent you a sword,
A Republican horde,
And--" "G-ddammit, not that kinda 'grant!'"

#2  Hopefully, Virginia will get cleaned up soon politically. Their government doesn't seem to be representing most of the people. Virginia, like the country, is mostly red with some blue high-density population areas scattered throughout. If voter fraud and election rigging is cleaned up for the next election, who knows how Virginia might look.

#1  Perhaps the Orange Man can find a way to offer Rev. Bob an even greater voice.
