NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey church officials are looking to curtail the online comments of a priest who's called Hillary Clinton an "evil witch" and former President Barack Obama a "bum."
The Rev. Peter West of St. John's Catholic Church in Orange posted the comments on Facebook and Twitter.
He also has called moderate Islam "a myth" and expressed support for President Donald Trump's travel ban, as well as described millennials as "snowflakes" and liberals as "smug and arrogant."

Curtail the truth, in other words. Too bad that church officials see this as their job, but maybe God is just becoming and old fashioned idea, and we need to be more inclusive.

I’ll probably botch this quote, but he says that people are saying Trump is going to kill all the gays, bring back slavery and take away women’s rights...like he’s a Muslim or something.
