All while its pastors rallied against the United States, the late church of Barack Obama received at least $15 million in federal grants.
FOX News has learned that over the last 15 years, Trinity has received at least $15 million in grants from the federal government — in other words, taxpayer money.
Records show this money supported a variety of outreach: everything from low income housing to nutritional programs for needy kids to money for HIV/AIDS education. Wright blames the government for intentionally infecting the African-American community with that deadly virus.
While preaching “God Damn America” and spreading conspiracies theories about the government, Obama’s pastor of 20 years had no problem taking money from that “evil” government.
Obama claims he had no hand in the grants being awarded, and there may be no way to tell how the taxpayer money was spent by the church that has reprinted articles by Hamas.
Yet, he said there’s no way to know exactly how Trinity spent its millions in taxpayer money, since grant awards usually afford some latitude for discretionary use. He stressed that it’s clear the grants have helped Wright grow his once tiny ministry into a massive empire.
“Before he embarrassed himself on national television with his rantings, he was a very, very sophisticated guy in terms of growing organizations. He knew how the game was played and he played it very well. But he’s not unique,” he said.
Wonderful.
