The rebuke from the Right Rev. Mariann Budde came after the president threatened the use of military force to quash a nationwide wave of racial unrest.
The bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington on Tuesday condemned the violent dispersal of peaceful protesters to accommodate President Donald Trump’s visit to a church, calling the photo opportunity a “symbolic gesture” that was “antithetical” to the core tenets of Christianity.
As the president spoke from the Rose Garden on Monday, police officers and National Guard units fired rubber bullets, deployed flash bangs and set off tear gas bombs to force protesters from Lafayette Square across from the White House. “I felt in no uncertain terms that I had to disassociate us from that symbolic gesture and to speak a word of justice and peace to the nation,” she told ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
