This is just simply pathetic. With these kinds of crowds, Donald Trump may just trounce Hillary Clinton. At the National Baptist Convention, there were 5,000 seats. Approximately 3,000 showed and they had to partition off part of the auditorium and shadow it so it wouldn’t look as bad as it really was. This woman is despised by everyone.
And I find it rich that the most corrupt politician of my lifetime would get up there and quote scripture from the Bible. What a hypocrite. Then she promised to bribe their congregations with increased government spending. I wonder if they had to exorcise the church after she spoke? Just wondering.
From Breitbart:
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton delivered a keynote speech at the National Baptist Convention Thursday night, but photos show that many people failed to show up.
Prior to the speech, workers moved in wall partitions in the giant venue, according to tweets from several reporters who were there.

According to local 41 Action News reporter Brian Abel, roughly 3,000 attended the speech although there were 5,000 seats set up in the venue.
Abel also published photos of the venue prior to Clinton’s speech.

Clinton repeatedly cited scripture during her speech, praising Baptist pastors around the country and promised increased government spending to assist their congregations.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton staged a personal speech about her faith, baring her soul to the congregation and talking personally about her commitment to her faith. I think I may retch after hearing this.
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it,” Clinton said, citing Scripture as she took the stage at the National Baptist Convention in Kansas City. Clinton wasted no time saying she was born and raised a Methodist, but because of Billy-boy, she came to see the Baptist light. She also claimed that she occasionally taught Sunday School. Really? You mean like trying to sign up for the military? Or dodging fire at a foreign airport? You’ll excuse me if I call bull crap on that claim.
She really laid it on thick about her alleged faith. I’ve been a devout Christian most of my life and she’s about as much a Christian as Obama is. But she did tell some of the truth here. She explained that she “embraced an activist social justice faith” citing St. Francis of Assisi’s advice to “Try to preach the gospel always, and if necessary use words.” In other words, she’s a Marxist and it has nothing to do with St. Francis.
This woman has no idea what doing good works means… she thinks that has to do with taking money into her foundation for herself. She even had the nerve to lecture the congregation on no one being perfect… even in politics. You’re kidding right? Politicians, with a few notable exceptions, are the most imperfect and corrupt of humans… Clinton comes to mind.
Finally, she had the supreme nerve to castigate conservative Christians for judging others. That just makes my blood boil. She’s saying that only liberal Christians are in the right. This woman is blasphemous and despicable. She said: “I have been very disappointed and sorry that Christianity, which has such great love at its core, is sometimes used to condemn so quickly and judge so harshly,” she noted disapprovingly.
You are judged by others by your deeds and behavior. And we find Clinton to be horrendous in both. God will judge her much more harshly. No wonder no one showed up.
