Context? You know, I wouldn’t be shocked if President Obama actually knew Reverend Pinckney. He had been in the state senate a long time and South Carolina was a key state in his run for president back in 2008.

She was speaking (and sniffling) about the loss of Charleston’s soul and how it affected everyone (thus the mention of “presidential candidates”). The mayor said Obama called him and mentioned the president by name. Nikki couldn’t be bothered.
