FIRST ON FOX: Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris visited the mega church of a controversial pastor this past Sunday in a key swing state, where she thanked him for his "leadership" and said she was honored to be in attendance to "celebrate" what he has "accomplished."

Harris attended a church service at the Georgia-based New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, which is under the pastoral leadership of senior pastor Jamal H. Bryant. The longtime pastor has repeatedly praised the antisemitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and said gay people should feel "uncomfortable" in their "sin."

Bryant, who introduced Harris as an "American hero" and "voice of the future," told the congregation that their unborn grandchildren are going to one day ask where they were on the day of the church service and called on them to "make some noise" for their "fearless leader."

"Pastor Bryant, I thank you for your leadership," Harris said while delivering remarks for about 20 minutes in front of the New Birth congregation. "You and I have discussed that we first met almost 20 years ago when there was a convening of rising stars in the country, and we had conversations back then about how we thought of our role and responsibility to our country and our responsibility and duty as leaders."

"It is so good to be with you this morning to celebrate what you have accomplished with this extraordinary congregation," she added.

Bryant, who donated $500 to the Harris campaign a week after President Biden announced that he wasn't running for re-election, has been a vocal Harris supporter and said earlier this summer that he and other Black leaders were "mobilizing an army" in support of her campaign.
