Americans United Covers its Tracks After Complaint Filed with the IRS
Liberty Counsel: “Americans United for Separation of Church and State (“AU”) has quickly tried to cover its tracks after Liberty Counsel filed a complaint against the organization on behalf of Liberty University with the IRS. Liberty Counsel alleged that for several years AU has almost exclusively filed complaints with the IRS against churches whose pastors lean toward Republican rather than Democratic candidates. To cover its tracks, AU quickly filed a complaint with the IRS against the Fifth Street Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia, for allegedly endorsing then-Democratic candidate Brian Moran during one of its services.”
