Kamala Harris raised some eyebrows while bringing her political agenda to Virginia churches. During an interview released on Wednesday, a prominent law professor, Jonathan Turley, said her outreach strategy for Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe is illegal.
At least 300 black churches in Virginia have agreed to play a prerecorded video in which Harris urges churchgoers to vote for McAuliffe. This comes as Harris claims McAuliffe possesses a “clear vision about how to rebuild Virginia’s economy.”
