Was it a campaign move? Does he regularly church hop? I'm glad he was there to hear the sermon ripping into Trump.

"A Maryland pastor blasted President Trump for his alleged "shithole countries" comment Sunday, leaving Vice President Mike Pence, who attended the service, reportedly "red-faced."
I stand today as your pastor to vehemently denounce and reject any such characterizations of the nations of Africa and of our brothers and sisters in Haiti," Rev. Maurice Watson told his congregation at the Metropolitan Baptist Church in Largo, Md.

countries" slur.. didn't work out so well for him.
pence also was at Hamilton on Broadway when they called out trump's idiocy, too.
