Donald Trump lashed out at religious leaders who criticized his move to take a photo in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church as a protest for civil rights was happening outside the White House. Trump claimed that his critics are just part of the “opposition party.”
“Most religious leaders loved it,” Trump told Fox host Brian Kilmeade. “I heard Franklin Graham this morning thought it was great. I heard many other people think it was great, and it’s only the other side that didn’t like it, the opposing — the opposition party, as the expression goes.”
“They burned down the church the day before,” he added. “I heard how nice and wonderful the protesters were over there. Really? Then why did they burned down the church the day before?”
