He should have invited them back to his office to pray around his $50,000 conference table.

Oh, the travel! I thought it must have been because he was a non-essential worker.

It is all BS. So much grifting, so little time. How much $ have they lost? Sad.

Two people, Carson and an aide, can fly non-stop round trip for this event, including lodging, for a bit more then $1500 total via Expedia right now. If the event is worthy and they expected Carson why in the hell doesn’t he shell out the $1500 and just do it?

Exactly. Pay for it yourself or have the organizers pay. Carson is not the preacher in residence.

Awwww…I’ll say a prayer with him in mind too. Just don’t ask what I’m praying for when it comes to that man. That’s between me and my G-d…

Sweet Dreams, Ben. Take the rest of the day off…You don’t do shit anyway.

Maybe I’m a heathen but WTF is U.S. Department Housing and Urban Development paying for a PRAYER BREAKFAST Appearance? I’m pretty sure the Founders wanted ‘separation’…
