I don't even know how to respond to this except to say, Why not? (I mean, I don't think anybody should be endorsing Trump, but ...)

Hope for Prisoners can't endorse a candidate for office. Ponder as an individual can if he feels like it. 1/ https://twitter.com/kenvogel/status/1298423710848888833

Ponder can't endorse a candidate in his capacity as the CEO of Hope for Prisoners (that is, he can't endorse a candidate if he's speaking on behalf of the org). And there are situations where that's a tricky determination.

And maybe it was here. 2/

My full disclosure is I'm not subjecting myself to the RNC.

But I sincerely doubt he said, "Hope for Prisoners endorses Trump for president."

What I'm saying is, this isn't a serious complaint. Of course Ponder shouldn't be endorsing Trump but that's because nobody should, 3/

not because the CEO of a tax-exempt org inherits the ban the org faces on endorsing a candidate for office. 4/4
