Earlier today, I wrote about how Kamala Harris took the pulpit at a North Carolina Church to preach about “doing justice” and “mercy.” Unfortunately, instead of a faithful exegesis of Scripture, what the congregation received was a political sermon from the Vice President.
Harris quoted from Micah 6:8, claiming that her “faith” is about “doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.” On the surface, it sounds like the kind of thing any professing Christian might say. But the glaring hypocrisy of her words cannot be ignored when we consider what she actually stands for—namely, one of the most radical pro-abortion platforms in U.S. history.
The unelected Democratic presidential candidate, who has consistently supported abortion at every stage, invoked Scripture to support what she portrays as a message of "compassion and justice. But what kind of "justice" is it to champion policies that allow the killing of innocent children in the womb, and possibly outside?
What "mercy" is there in denying the unborn their most basic right to life? Is “mercy” covering up your sins so it won’t interfere with your political ambitions? I can’t say, but the cognitive dissonance is staggering—claiming to love mercy while simultaneously championing the destruction of the most vulnerable among us.
But, this brings us to a deeper and even more troubling question about Harris's personal rise to power. Many are aware of her long-standing romantic relationship in the 1990s with Willie Brown, an influential California politician. Brown, who was married at the time, appointed Harris to several political positions while their affair was ongoing, directly advancing her career. Brown himself has admitted as much, acknowledging that he helped boost her into politics by placing her into these positions of influence.
So, we have a Vice President who slept her way into power—there’s no need for speculation when the facts are on the table. The relationship with Brown, a politically powerful man, undoubtedly accelerated Harris’s political career, providing her with key appointments that put her on the path to where she is today.
It is difficult to ignore how this history of personal moral compromise might play a role in Harris’s current political agenda, particularly her radical stance on abortion. Abortion, after all, is used as a method to hide the consequences of personal indiscretions. Yet, we have Evangelical leaders in the American Church who actually support her because Trump, they say, is the immoral one.
