Democrats clearly expected the black clergyman from Warrenton to know his place and deliver an invocation in alignment with their progressive politics. Things didn't go as planned.M. Catharine Evans "With newly empowered Democrats in the Virginia state house ready to advance legislation lifting abortion restrictions and eager to strengthen protections for those in the LGBT community, Reverend Dr. Robert M Grant, Jr. didn't hold back in his opening prayer before the General Assembly Tuesday morning.
