When the Rev. Lee Scott publicly endorsed Kamala Harris, he acknowledged the risks involved, saying, "The easy thing...would be to keep our heads down, go to the ballot box, keep our vote secret... But at this time, I just can't do that." This reflects a deep conviction to speak out despite potential backlash from his community.
Scott described the aftermath of a would-be assassin's attack on Trump in his hometown: "...the impact on his community pushed him to speak out against Trump and the vitriol and acceptable violence he normalized in politics." This captures the serious implications of political rhetoric and its consequences.
Scott expressed a broader existential concern: "I am tired of watching meanness, bigotry and recreational cruelty be the worldly witness of our faith... I want transformation, and transformation is risky business." This highlights a critical moral stance among some evangelicals seeking a different path.
