They were just screaming he was “hiding” and have been asking “WHERE is the president!”
Now, of course they are screaming “NOT THERE! HE SHOULD NEVER! EVER GO THERE!!!”

I’m guessing flash bangs and tear gas are used on people who refuse to leave an area after repeatedly ordered to do so by law enforcement. The MSM naturally is spinning it that they were “abused” just because they were exercising their right to protest in a location where POTUS would like to walk.

They are LITERALLY complaining that he brought a Bible to their Godforsaken “church”.

These left leaning people of religion are turning many people, including myself, away from “the church”. This is coming from a pastors dad. And these left leaning pastors wonder why attendance is declining. They are a failure. God is not a political point of view. Its disgusting.

I thought what Trump did was very appropriate. This country will not heal until we return to embrace out Christian heritage and fall into sincere repentance for our falling away. Trump was spot on in the symbolism of his gesture. Listen up, America: repent, return to the Lord our God, and follow his ways . . . or, we will continue to reap destruction and death. This song and verse has been played many times before by those gone before us. Will we ever learn???

In 2019, Father Martin disapproved the public denials of Holy Communion to several lawmakers, including Joe Biden, based on their support for abortion rights, and to a woman who had contracted a same-sex civil marriage in the Diocese of Grand Rapids.

Martin wrote in a tweet that denying Communion to politicians was a “bad idea” because in this case one “must also deny it to those who support the death penalty”. Several Catholic authors and priests criticized Martin’s interpretation of canon 915 which forbids the administration of Holy Communion to those who persist in manifest grave sin.

In 2004, Cardinal Ratzinger, then Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, stated that “there may be a legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not however with regard to abortion and euthanasia”.

You see the televangelists and prosperity gospel preachers wave the Bible all the time while asking for their new Gulfstream. Go criticize them.

“Tear-gassing peaceful protesters without provocation so that the president could pose for photos outside a church dishonors every value that faith teaches us,” Pelosi and Schumer said. “The President’s continued fanning of the flames of discord, bigotry and violence is cowardly, weak and dangerous.”

Notice they didn’t say illegal. And that’s because the White House and the SS have been the target of attacks by these, so called, peaceful protesters for a couple of days. And you’ll, also, notice that the article did not identify any injuries to the protesters, just there disbursement. Going into a war zone, not wishing to harm, and getting it done with no reported injuries, well handled.

“- More than 50 Secret Service agents have been injured during ugly clashes outside the White House on a sixth night of violence..”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut1-1MOcxsE

“More than 50 Secret Service agents were injured, fires set by rioters blazed near the White House and authorities were searching for car bombs late Sunday as protests over the death of George Floyd continued to roil the capital just two days after President Trump had to be taken to a bunker for his safety.

https://www.policeone.com/george-floyd-protest/articles/at-least-50-secret-service-agents-injured-by-rioters-T1teVnFiVbfZa9zI/

Additionally, why should a citizen of this country require the need of force with tear gas to clear a path? By impeding him, that means they have stepped their peaceful protests to rioting, no matter who the citizen is. Peaceful protests don’t force a person to listen to the message, rioting does. Rioting is unlawful.

“The Bible is not a prop.”

Said while using the Bible as a prop.

What’s “a proud look?” Isn’t it good to be proud of something?

Why are all these people screaming about him being at a church?

Every single one of them spends hours and hours at every big black church they can find on Sunday, preaching about voting for Democrats. There are hundreds of videos of them going to all sorts of churches.

You would think they would want Trump to get some religion. (/s)

Support President Trump going to the church. Not sure what the point was of carrying a Bible along. Seems like it was used as a prop.

The harumphing from The Left is caucaphonous.
