Religious leaders condemn gassing protesters to clear street for Trump
Religious leaders around the country are condemning the use of tear gas on peaceful protesters outside the White House Monday evening to clear the area for President Trump to walk across the street to be photographed in front of a church.
“I’m there in my little pink sweater in my collar, my gray hair up in a ponytail, my reading glasses on. … I was suddenly coughing from the tear gas,” Gerbasi said. Bishop Mariann Budde, leader of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, D.C., said she was not informed of the president’s visit ahead of time, and learned about it from watching it on television.
In 2011, Trump told Fox News, falsely, that President Obama “doesn't have a birth certificate. He may have one, but there's something on that, maybe religion, maybe it says he is a Muslim.” Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of the Catholic advocacy group NETWORK, said Trump was “using the Catholic faith in another photo op to defend his appalling refusal to address racism and police violence in the United States.”
