Conservative Christian nonprofit under scrutiny after ‘illegal campaign intervention’ to help Jim Jordan
Published 1 min ago on July 8, 2019 By Tana Ganeva
A Christian non-profit organization endorsed Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) in his bid to be GOP minority leader, reports Friendly Atheist. It’s a potential breach of its 503 status and now, atheist groups are calling on the IRS to investigate the group’s partisan activity.
After Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) declined to seek re-election and the Democrats took the House in the midterms, Republicans lost the speakership to Nancy Pelosi. Had Republicans retained control, Jordan was a top contender for Speaker.
That’s where the Christian group came in.
“Here’s where it gets bizarre: The American Family Association, a conservative Christian non-profit group, sent their members an email last July saying Jordan should be the next Speaker because the other candidates were “establishment Republicans” and therefore not good enough,” writes the Friendly Atheist.
“They wanted their members to pressure their representatives to vote for Jordan.”
