Conservative church leader wants GOP apology
Share this story:
There is a growing backlash to the false attack on Ben Hall by the chairman of the Harris County Republican Party.
Today, Steve Riggle, the founding pastor of Grace Community Church joined other faith leaders in denouncing the blatant lie that Ben Hall ever supported the bathroom ordinance.
“What the Harris County GOP has done to Ben Hall reflects on the integrity of every person in the Republican Party. That is why I am urging every Republican office holder and party member to publicly condemn this outright lie.”
Riggle is one of five pastors whose sermons were subpoenaed by Mayor Parker, part of the city hall campaign against the religious community that Ben Hall has pledged to end on day one.
“Ben Hall has stood with us in fighting HERO from the very beginning,” says Riggle. “I should know. As you are aware I have been helping lead the effort to defeat this ordinance from the beginning.”
Ironically, the chairman of the Republican Party ought to be chastising Bill King and Steve Costello. King doesn’t think it is the voter’s business how he will vote, and Steve Costello supports letting men go into restrooms with teenage girls. Why didn’t he attack
Sylvester Turner, the gay caucus candidate who promises to be a fourth term of Mayor Parker?
“I have promised voters that I will not play politics with the truth,” says Hall. “I will protect their public safety. I will make sure tax money isn’t wasted. And I will stand up to the backroom deals. That is why I am getting attacked.”
