Osteen Church Spokesman: ‘Our Doors Were Never Closed’

‘In fact, we did have people come to the church on Sunday evening or maybe it was Monday morning’

RUSH EXCERPT:
ILOFF: "The doors were never closed and in fact, we did have people come to the church on Sunday evening or maybe it was Monday morning, but it was some time overnight. We had about ten people here at the church. And they rode out the storm here. A few were maintenance people keeping an eye on the building. Others were here to receive anyone who came into the church needing help. Now, we were not designated and still are not designated as a -- shelter. Once you are designated as a shelter by the city or county or by FEMA then you get all the assistance, the beds, all the things that you and so the fact is, our doors were never, ever locked. In fact, we did receive people into this building over time. So that narrative, which I've seen on social media, and I didn't see it until late, because we were all kind of busy. But it's just very untrue and it's completely false actually."
