BURIEN, Wash. - From his home at the All-Merciful Saviour Monastery on Vashon Island, Washington, Abbot Tryphon told Seattle's KIRO-TV about how he was suddenly attacked Tuesday morning while gassing up at the Mobil station on Southwest 148th Street in Burien.
“I have never been hit as hard,” the Russian Orthodox priest said Wednesday. The at-large suspect “zeroed in on my cross, because when he started coming my direction, he had this look of anger," he said.
The leader of the Vashon monks said the man who struck him first asked, “How’s Trump?” When Abbot Tryphon answered, “I have no idea," that’s when the man struck him, he said.
On Wednesday afternoon, the King County Sheriff’s Office released surveillance video recorded at the gas station, hoping that someone will help identify the man.
In the video, it is difficult to see what happened on the other side of the priest’s van. However, multiple people witnessed the assault and called 911, according to Sgt. Ryan Abbott.

Apparently the assaulter thinks that Russian Orthodox members are all go-betweens for Trump and Putin.

Maybe the priest will be charged for openly wearing a cross. Doing that is like waving a read flag in front of a bull. It’s bound to trigger some otherwise peaceful folks.
/s (of course).

Pelosi and leftist pals are constantly telling people like this that Trump is evil, and suggesting that he be assassinated
Subliminal messages even embedded in popular entertainment
Gee think he might be affected?
But his motive may never be known
Wait, its rage against white nationalism and Christians who vote for Trump
And therefore. Trump’s fault!

Satan is getting pissed.
The man’s hatred for Trump is a blessing as Jesus stated when He cast out demons, “Would satan cast out satan? A house divided will fall.”
For Trump to have an enemy like this, it raises him up in my book.

Most likely, the church of Antifa That would be the church of Klantifa.
