NEW YORK – One U.S. prelate has gone where none have dared to go before: Directly condemning President Donald Trump for racism.
In a series of tweets Aug. 5, San Antonio’s Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller pleaded with Trump to “stop hate and racism, starting with yourself.”
In several follow-up messages, the Mexican-American archbishop directly called out the president saying: “President stop your hatred. People in the US deserve better.”
“President you are a poor man, a very week [sic] man. Stop damaging people. Please!” Archbishop Garcia-Siller wrote in another.
“Stop racism!!!! Stop!!!” he tweeted. “Starts with leadership.”
Archbishop Garcia-Siller’s messages come just days after a Texas gunman killed 22 individuals in El Paso after posting an online manifesto spewing hatred and anti-immigrant remarks.
In recent days, Archbishop Garcia-Siller has been an active presence on social media, using his Twitter account to call for greater gun control measures.
This past weekend’s shooting does not mark his first experience with gun violence. In November 2017, another gunman opened fire in a Baptist church in nearby Sutherland Springs – located within the Archdiocese of San Antonio – killing 26 individuals and wounded another 20.

Now how did I know this dude was Hispanic?
Satanic army unleashed. Wolves in sheeps clothing.
My message to the archbishop:
Stop your vicious, unfounded accusations against the president.
I can’t imagine a catholic priest condemning anyone for any behavior. Take the plank out of your own eye first.
He must be looking for a promotion to that cesspool, the Vatican.
Maybe the leftist, commies are right. Time to take off the gloves.
I’m sorry. I didn’t read the article.
Was his condemnation of racism aimed at La Raza?
Did he ever think he might be the one who is racist? He is the one who is encouraging and condoning his Mexican brethren to invade our country. He knows it is illegal and he knowns it is a grievous provocation to the American people and yet he continues. He is a hypocritical provocateur hiding behind clerical garb.

Hey Archbishop why don’t you stop the pedophilia in the Catholic Church starting with yourself
It appears they most certainly have “other issues” they need to focus on other than being an echo chamber for prog politicians.

Tax the Church!
We need common-sense assault speech legislation.
Given the state of the Clergy, I bet he can quote as many “hateful and racist” tweets from Trump as he can scriptures from the Bible, i.e., 0.

Give up that tax free status preacher-man.
And stop diddling little boys you faggit.
An educated guess maybe? 😁
He has since deleted the tweets, which were full of spelling and grammar errors. Or, maybe His Excellency remembered that bearing false witness is a sin.

Chi thanks buddy for your very independent opinion - nobody has is ever said that before!
Hey Gustavo -
Have you condemned your fellow Archbishop McCarrick for all the horrible things he has done? Have you condemned the hundreds of your priests for assaulting young altar boys?
