2) King prayed at Franklin Graham’s Prayer March 2020 event held on Sept. 26 of that year
3) A “Call to Prayer” for Pres. Trump was held on Oct. 18, 2020. She prayed 2 Chron. 7:14, and as part of her prayer, mentioned that Pres. Trump seeks Godly counsel as he and the First Lady open their home, the White House, to prayer and Godly wisdom. She said that with Pres. Trump and the First Lady the White House is God’s house. It’s America’s house and is now often called a place of prayer. Apparently, she has no problem with the fact that “prayers” by members of other religions are offered at the White House on the National Day of Prayer events.
