Show Notes
Marie Johnson, once a woman in jail for 21 years was given a second chance by President Trump, and has been fully pardoned. She discusses her relationship with the President and the lies being spread about him, as people attempt to create racial divisiveness. Also joining her is former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick who now fills Michigan’s airwaves, praising the man who freed him from prison: former President Donald Trump. After the pushback from Christians everywhere following her disgusting response to two attendees at her rally, who yelled “Jesus is Lord.” Kamala’s response of ‘you’re at the wrong rally’ has been met with disbelief from Christians, of all races and backgrounds. Kamala spent time at a black church in Georgia yesterday with her “souls to the polls” effort. People are not buying it.
