Chavez attended Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Harlem, where he was introduced by actor Danny Glover, a Harlem native who traveled to Caracas in January and met with the Venezuelan president. At Thursday's event, Chavez repeated a reference to the president as the "devil," mimicking remarks he made a a day earlier to the U.N. General Assembly.
At one point Chavez told the audience that "sometimes the devil takes human form," a comment that drew some boos and applause from the crowd who interpreted the reference to mean Bush.
Glover is from frisco, not harlem.
