That event ended with the manager of the shop saying that Republican Dave McCormick is ‘not welcome back.’ ‘You’re not welcome back.’ Then Dave McCormick crossed the street to a local Baptist church where the pastor there asked McCormick and his entourage to leave because he didn’t, among other things, want photos of his church’s members to be used by McCormick’s campaign. […] So, that went great for the Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania.”
