Robert Foster is a member of Hernando Baptist Church. He is a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Mississippi. The GOP primary is fast approaching in Mississippi. Foster planned a 15-hour statewide blitz of campaign stops in his truck. A reporter requested a ride-along. It was rejected on grounds of the Billy Graham Rule.
What is the Billy Graham Rule? Simple: A married man should not be alone with a woman who is not his wife.
The reaction was furious. Mainstream media outlets condemned Foster and Mike Pence, the Vice President who famously uses the same rule.
