That “Church” needs their tax exemption revoked.

Trump has promised to work on that. Perhaps these Ohioans will vote for him!

It would if it were Trump speaking at it.

Under the Internal Revenue Code "all IRC Section 501 (c)(3) organizations including churches and religious organizations are absolutely prohibited from direct or indirect participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office".

(Source: Dept. of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, www.IRS.gov

If a tax-exempt church or religious organization is not in compliance it will lose its exemption status.

Historically, and to this day, only white Christian churches have to comply with this law, not mosques or black churches who do as they please.

Yes, Mr. Trump addressed this very thing in a speech a week or so ago. I personally heard him say he's going to take this issue on as one of his "planks".
