Rev. Lee Scott publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president during the Aug. 14 Evangelicals for Harris Zoom call. The Presbyterian pastor and farmer said he knew he was taking a risk.
“Scott lives in Butler, Pennsylvania, the same town where a would-be assassin shot former President Donald Trump in July. Scott told The Associated Press that the attack and its impact on his community pushed him to speak out against Trump and the “vitriol” and “acceptable violence” he normalized in politics.”
