Over the weekend, the global evangelical Christian charity Samaritan's Purse set up an emergency field hospital in New York City's historic Central Park to help the Big Apple handle the coronavirus crisis. Mayor Bill de Blasio has thanked the organization ... by promising to monitor it to make sure there's no "discrimination."
Hizzoner told the New York Post that he found it "very troubling" when he heard that Samaritan's Purse would open a pop-up hospital in the park to help during the coronavirus crisis. de Blasio views the charity with suspicion because its president and CEO, Franklin Graham, has championed the Bible's stance on sexuality.
"I said immediately to my team that we had to find out exactly what was happening," de Blasio told the Post. It seems he was concerned that Samaritan's Purse would "discriminate" against those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). "Was there going to be an approach that was truly consistent with the values and the laws in New York City, that everyone would be served and served equally?"
de Blasio wouldn't dream of announcing he would "monitor" a pro-LGBT charity that stepped in to help with the coronavirus outbreak to make sure it didn't discriminate against conservatives. Yet he claims to find it "very troubling" that a conservative Christian group would offer crucial health care in the midst of a crisis — just because it's Christian.

Hizhonner should stay indoors during thunderstorms.
He is an idiot. He has no understanding or wisdom regarding Christianity and who Jesus Christ is.
I think there getting FREE hospital beds...and there bitching....
I would pack up and leave...but that would not be very Christian..
How are they suposed to know if there LGBT?????
I have never been asked when I went to the hospital
What does Kaiser Wilhelm know about discrimination? Or is he more “woke” than the rest of us?
That would allow him to find discrimination where none exists.
Grrrr. Assuming guilty until proven innocent.
Even as the city lays dying, New York politicians keep provoking God’s wrath.
Monitor away, de Blasio.
You may learn something about Christians.
Unbelievable. Come Lord Jesus...soon!
Giuliani > Bloomberg > DeBlasio: not the "progressive" you want.
Evidently, the jackass doesn’t know Christianity.
I would take the entire hospital down and say SREW YOU we are out of here!!!
What an idiotic thing to say.
you mean Warren Wilhem?....
I’m beginning to think that God has finally removed his hedge of protection that he has had on the United States. We’ve allowed 60 million innocent babies to be sacrificed to Moloch and we are now reaping what we have sewn.
These New Yorkers would rather die than thank God. Didn’t Cuomo once say that pro lifers were not welcome in New York? Well now they are being visited by death.
I’m sure that Samaritan’s Purse is a much more Christian group that I could ever individually hope for.
But of course, there’s bad me.
If I were head of SP, I’d publicly say to DeBlasio “If you have a problem with us, we are willing to go elsewhere where our services would be needed and appreciated. Let us now as soon as possible”.
I call him Reichsführer Wilhelm.
