about her name.

So the preacher is a racist AND a frotteur? Dang, it's a daily double of degeneracy







quote:

DETROIT (AP) — The bishop who officiated Aretha Franklin's funeral apologized Friday to Ariana Grande for how he touched her onstage and a joke he made about her name.
Bishop Charles H. Ellis III led Franklin's funeral and awkwardly greeted Grande on stage after she performed "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." Images of the moment showed Ellis' hand holding Grande well above her waist, with his fingers pressing against one side of her chest.

The preacher apologized in an interview with The Associated Press at the cemetery where Franklin was interred late Friday.

"It would never be my intention to touch any woman's breast. ... I don't know I guess I put my arm around her," Ellis said. "Maybe I crossed the border, maybe I was too friendly or familiar but again, I apologize."

quote:

Ellis also apologised to Grande, her fans and Hispanic community for making a joke about seeing her name on the program and thinking it was a new item on the Taco Bell menu.

Translation: it’s easier to ask forgiveness than for permission.

In his defense, she did dress like a hooker.

The gif is downright disgusting. He is literally massaging her breast.

I think she’s Italian - why did he apologize to the Hispanic community?

Good Lord. Democrats can't even make it through a funeral without molesting someone.

Well he's a black man, so nothing to see here.

Not meaning anything bad by that, but just that the MSM would have already self-emmolated if Trump had done only one or the other of what this man did.

Jus sayin...

Some hear racism, but I hear an epic dad joke.

Bill Clinton quietly cursing under his breath, he was supposed to follow the Taco Bell star and realizes he missed his chance at an innocent squeeze.

He is on the right (Left) team so an apology is all he needs to do. All good.

WJC will never apologize.

One article said that she is Italian how dare he call her taco bell?

Also a side note: I saw a social media post that said they were tired of people eating meat and harming nursing cows--so no dairy. As well as they said, anyone who ever dares to say they love all people, black, white, purple...., are racist for saying this. She was educated in the same school that broke NC law and tore down that statue. She praised the statues removal.
