The Daily Show Talks To Bankrupt ‘Starbucks Semen’ Pastor, And The LGBT Group Bidding For His Church

Published

on

Hilarious interview with the NYC pastor whose attacks on LGBT people include the claim ‘Jesus Would Stone Homos’ and the head of an LGBT homeless youth center who’s trying to buy the church.

Pastor James David Manning runs Harlem’s homophobic ATLAH church, which he has successfully turned into an anti-gay hate group, while unsuccessfully keeping the collection plates full. The building dates back to the late 1880s, and was first first founded as a church in 1957. Manning took over in 1981, but only in the past few years has he received national attention for his hate speech.

“Jesus would stone homos,“ the illegally-erected sign outside his church building once read. Other, similar attacks on gay people have been emblazoned upon it. 

Manning has also claimed his local Harlem Starbucks is ground zero for Ebola because they add the semen of “sodomites” to add special flavor to their lattes.

Jessica Williams of “The Daily Show” went back to once again interview Pastor Manning, in an episode that aired Tuesday night. Manning made sure to continue his anti-gay attacks, throwing in claims that gay people are moving into Harlem for “Black meat,” then using the term “jungle fever.”

Manning wrongly claims the more than $1 million in arrears and fines against his church are the result of a campaign by NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration, and again reiterated that gay people will not take over his church building until they give birth to babies out of their asses.

Afterwards, Williams talked with Carl Siciliano, the head of the Ali Forney Center, which is trying to raise enough money to buy the church at a foreclosure auction. He wants to turn the building into an LGBT homeless youth center.

You can donate to the Ali Forney Center and help take hate out of Harlem.

No doubt, Jesus would approve.

Mystery Grand Jury Witness in Trump Hush Money Probe Is Former ‘Enquirer’ Publisher and Trump Ally

Avid followers of the Manhattan District Attorney’s moves noted the grand jury had been called into service for Monday, and soon news leaked that yet another witness would be testifying in the probe into Donald Trump’s alleged hush money payment to Stormy Daniels.

Monday afternoon, NBC News’ Garrett Haake reported live on MSNBC that the mystery witness was David Pecker, the former tabloid publisher of the “National Enquirer,” who reportedly had been looking for stories in 2016 to protect Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Haake notes Monday was Pecker’s second appearance before the grand jury in the hush money case.

The New York Times also reported David Pecker as the grand jury witness, calling Pecker “a key player in the hush-money matter. He and the tabloid’s top editor helped broker the deal between the porn star, Stormy Daniels, and Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s fixer at the time.”

“While the focus of Mr. Pecker’s testimony is unclear, he could provide valuable information for prosecutors. A longtime ally of Mr. Trump, he agreed to keep an eye out for potentially damaging stories about Mr. Trump during the 2016 campaign,” The Times reports. “For a brief time in October 2016, Ms. Daniels appeared to have just that kind of story. Her agent and lawyer discussed the possibility of selling exclusive rights to her story of a sexual encounter with Mr. Trump to The National Enquirer, which would then promise to never publish it, a practice known as ‘catch and kill.'”

Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman weighed in, noting, “nothing about that decision [to have Pecker testify] suggests any change of heart on Bragg’s part to indict Trump.”

Former Dept. of Defense Special Counsel Ryan Goodman, an NYU professor of law, notes that Pecker’s “testimony can show the [hush money] scheme was designed to affect outcome of election.”

“He reportedly communicated directly with Trump on payment,” Goodman adds.

First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, speaking Monday afternoon at a National League of Cities conference, told attendees, “Our children deserve better,” as she broke the news of the Nashville school mass shooting at Covenant Presbyterian School where three children and three adults were shot dead.

“You know,” Dr. Biden, herself an educator and clearly pained by the news, began her remarks by saying, “I hate to say what I’m gonna say next because you know you’re so enthusiastic and with so much energy and hope and I feel it.”

“But while you’ve been in this room, I don’t know whether you’ve been on your phones but we just learned about another shooting in Tennessee, a school shooting and I am truly without words and our children deserve better, and we stand – all of us – we stand with Nashville in prayer.”
