WASHINGTON _ The Rev. Odell Cleveland has a Barack Obama hat and a bobblehead of the first black president on his desk. He supports the Affordable Care Act and voted for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.
But Cleveland, the chief administrative officer at Greensboro's Mt. Zion Baptist Church, is also a supporter of Republican Rep. Mark Walker _ who most definitely is not a fan of Obama, Clinton or the ACA.
Walker recently attended a panel discussion at the church on the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., where a white gunman killed nine black parishioners during a Bible study. Walker, a former Baptist pastor, was the only Republican panelist and was peppered with audience questions about gun violence and racist chants at a President Donald Trump rally in Greenville.
