Amos Brown, a longtime pastor of Third Baptist Church of San Francisco, was specific when he described Vice President Kamala Harris’s connection to his church.
“She’s an old-timer” at the church, he said in an interview on Monday.
That might help explain why, when Harris met with Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Sikh leaders in Los Angeles in 2022 to discuss abortion rights and other issues, Brown was in attendance.
