‘I Am Outraged’: D.C. Episcopal Bishop Decries Trump Clearing Protestors With Tear Gas to Use Church as a ‘Prop’
Mediaite ^ | 6-01-2020 | KJ Edelman

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde expressed her outrage toward President Donald Trump after Trump used her Washington D.C. St. John’s Episcopal Church for a photo op following his address to the nation, telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper, “I just can’t believe what my eyes have seen tonight.” Budde and other members of the church didn’t know Trump would visit their church until they saw it on the news, they said. Budde ripped Trump for his “abused of sacred symbols” and was “outraged” that her church was used for political gain.

What? I watched the Rev. of St. John’s being interviewed live on Fox News after Trump walked over from the White House.

He had no criticism about the event; was just surprised.

I also had not seen any of the crap spewed by this woman about tear gas being used to clear the park and way to the church.

Regarding the text of the link, not you SC...

Total BS! The way to the church was cleared by the Secret Service (NOT tear gas) and the Rev. is a man who was interviewed live on Fox News.

Another pastor of this church was on FOX earlier and I did not get any “outrage” at Trump.

oh, I did. I sensed his disgust for Trump, but he didn’t come right out and say it.

The historic church is intact.

The fire was in the basement in the recently renovated nursery and the FD was able to access that and put it out.

I posted similar comments, just later than you did.

He was the Rev. of the church and had no criticism at all.

I’ve no idea who this woman is who is claiming it’s her church.

Barf! She's the lesbian bishop who presides at the National Cathedral, I believe. What the hell is going on with the now uber-leftist Episcopal church??

I knew it wouldn't take long for these leftist "bishops" to complain about what they call Trump's photo op.

For supposed 'men and women of God', they sure are filled with a LOT of hate.

And that is just one more example of why so many people left these Godless churches.

Leaving a Godless church is not leaving God. It is only leaving a vile club.

YUP.

Yeah, nothing to say about those who burned the place. Fraud. Liar. Fake Christian.

Great point. Even the article I read about this (the CNN one, not Mediaite) made the "small fire" at St. John's Episcopal Church sound like no big deal.

Nope, they don’t even have one effing brain cell between the lot of them. Not one! We never had so many morons leading this country as we do now.

As far as I saw on TV, there was no tear gas involved.

I didn't see any tear gas either. Yet I'm reading that there was "tear gas to clear a path for Trump so he could do a photo op" everywhere tonight.

Budde has long been a vocal Trump-hater, the media sought her out for that reason.

Didn't the Episcopalian Church split into two factions years ago? The current liberal, LGBTQ-centric one, and the traditional, Biblical Episcopal church?

Or maybe there was just a lot of talk about it a few years ago, and it never really happened...?

I don’t think Trump was endorsing the Episcopal sect.

He went there because it is an historical site, IMO.

Reads right on the church sign that
"All ARE WELCOME"
Obvious hypocrite!

Yes! Thank you!! President Trump was standing right in front of that ALL ARE WELCOME sign when he "dared" to hold up the Bible. So "All Are Welcome", Bishop Budde, except President Trump and Trump voters??

Budde -- a so-called "woman of God" -- is filled with a LOT of HATE.

Yes, I think you mean Rev. Robert Fisher, the Rector of St. John's? I saw him on Fox News earlier. I agree with you... he's NO fan of Trump.

If she didn’t believe every lie that comes down the pike, she wouldn’t be so outraged.

“Bishop” - so much wrong with that and who she really is....Like Cuomo and the rest, they think the President of the United States should be held prisoner by “protesters” and if that’s true, think of what they want to do with the average law-abiding citizen...

Today I have seen videos showing some kind of clouds of smoke. Perhaps there was tear gas. Lafayette Park, which is between the White House and the church may have been closed to demonstrations, as it has been in the past, but was filled with protesters anyway.

Laws and rules do not apply to leftists, only to patriotic Americans.
