“God’s Not Dead” star Kevin Sorbo Facebooks his way out of the closet — as a racist
The onetime TV Hercules got good and wound up over the Ferguson, Missouri riots. And stuck his foot in it. ““Ferguson riots have very little to do with the shooting of the young man,” he wrote. “It is an excuse … Continue reading
