He looks like a good guy with lots of empathy. Woke, believes in DEI, etc.

His church is Chicago's oldest Presbyterian church, dating back to 1833. If he's single, he's a great catch. He's everything that ICE and the drumpf regime are not.

He must be single if his bio says he lives with his Husky and plants. I'm old enough to be his greataunt, but I still can admire a kind, woke, smart, thoughtful, handsome, looks like he has a good sense of humor man.

Thanks for posting the interview.

He’s an irresistible sweetheart, and I predict we’ll have the pleasure of his continued presence on the national stage. He’s the perfect antidote to Mike Johnson’s Old Testament version of Christianity in store for us if the Christian Nationalists have their way.

Check this out if you can handle a real-life Halloween horror show:

Big mistake. Who wouldn’t want to be on his side?

A static picture of a cleric being interviewed on CNN is quite uninformative

The words "pepper ball" in the OP would've made it click for me instantly, but without them, I didn't recollect
