When your pastor gives a speech so radical and outlandish that Nancy Pelosi condemns the words, you may want to reconsider taking advice from such a person.
Yet Vice President Kamala Harris instead leaned into her longtime pastor, Amos Brown, head of the Third Baptist Church in San Francisco. He was reportedly one of the first people Harris contacted when President Joe Biden suspended his 2024 presidential campaign and she became the presumptive nominee.

Brown shared some of their discussion with the publication “Sojourners” saying, “She said to me, ‘Pastor, I called because I want you to pray for me … this country … and the race I am intending to run for president.'”
Their relationship goes back years, and even as Harris was inaugurated as vice president, she maintained a close proximity to Brown, describing him in an Instagram picture of the two as “an inspiration to me always.”
So what is it that makes Brown such a “radical” and “dangerous” influence on the person who could be president of the United States one day?
Many Americans have never even heard of Amos Brown, much less his history of radical, anti-American rhetoric which has caused even prominent California liberals such as former Gov. Gray Davis and the late Senator Diane Feinstein to walk out of his speaking events.
Mere days after the horrific events of September 11, 2001, Brown blamed America for the attacks in a tirade that caused Rep. Nancy Pelosi to push back against them when she took the podium.
“America, is there anything you did to set up this climate?” Brown asked those in attendance. “Ohhhh—America, what did you do?”
According to the Washington Free Beacon he continued saying:
“America, what did you do two weeks ago when I stood at the world conference on racism, when you wouldn’t show up?” Brown said, referring to his participation in the United Nations World Conference Against Racism, which the United States and Israel boycotted citing concerns about antisemitism.
“America, America, what did you do – either intentionally or unintentionally – in the world order, in Central America, in Africa where bombs are still blasting?” Brown went on. “America, what did you do in the global warming conference when you did not embrace the smaller nations? America, what did you do two weeks ago when I stood at the world conference on racism, when you wouldn’t show up?”
You know you’ve jumped into the deep end when Nancy Pelosi slams the statement as too far.
“The act of terrorism on Sept. 11 put those people outside the order of civilized behavior, and we will not take responsibility for that,” Pelosi said.
As Brown’s history comes to the surface, it rings eerily similar to the horrific statements given by former President Barack Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright. While Obama frequently caught a lot of heat for the divisive and strong anti-American language used by Wright, in the long run it made little difference to those who ended up voting for him.
Fox News reported on a speech given by Harris at the 2022 NAACP National Convention, telling the world just how much Brown means to her and influences her decisions.
“I just want to, if you don’t mind for a moment, take a moment of personal privilege to talk about Dr. Brown. He has been on this journey with me every step of the way, from when I first thought about running for public office almost two decades ago,” Harris said. “And he has been such a voice of leadership, more leadership, and leadership in our nation. And so I want to thank you, Dr. Brown, for all that you are.”
Can America afford a presidency of someone who pushes communist ideals and is influenced by those who revile and despise the nation they are supposed to lead and unify?
