He is intelligent and educated. Yet he chose to attend a church where the sermons were clearly divisive, anti-white and bigoted. Not once, but over and over again. I hardly think that if a Republican candidate spent years and years attending a church with a bigoted paster and it became public that it would be a non-issue. Some senior senators were forgiven views in the past but to my knowledge, anyone currently demonstrating an acceptance of bigotry or anti-racial views is immediately denounced today. The candidate's campaign would immediately be over.
