But we don't know do we.

First let me say that you really have a lot of free time for typing, or you just type really fast... Or practice in front of the mirror while you shave, who knows.
Why put him on the advisory committee? Perhaps because he wanted spiritual advice from his pastor? Someone he knew personally who would give him what he needed from the religious portion of his life. Why would he go to someone he didn't know?
Also, the underlined section from your quote is quite inflammatory and baseless. It is quite the red herring, but we're not fooled. Too bad most of us don't get to vote and most Americans are gullible reactionaries. See? I can be inflammatory too!

If I'm running for president, I'm making sure the people on my advisory committee are people who best exemplify my beliefs.

But... you're not running for president... so you don't have thousands of people dedicated to going over your life with a fine tooth comb to find out what nutjob is in your past that may have done or said something questionable.
