That is like an oxymoron - particularly because the guy (who was apparently black) was also hurling expletives. He needs to be defrocked.

It's remarkable considering how they went after the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and cherry-picked one term out of an hour long sermon that contained the words "God damn America".

It's the Trump era. What did he say?

When several reporters were trying to ask Trump if he was a racist as he fled the room, Scott could be heard loudly yelling, "No!". Following the presser a reporter from the NY Times posted his picture online and asked if anyone could identify him in connection with his attempt to a silence April Ryan. Scott actually replied, and so did April, and she used twitter to take Scott to school.

The comments are just what you'd expect.

reporter to be asking. How bout:

are you a white supremacist
a neo-nazi sympathizer
a sexist
a narcissist
an incestuous pediophile
a clinically obese person
a homophobe
a racketeer and money launderer

Im not sure what kind of answer these reporters thought they would get.

I say this as someone totally in support of confrontation as an act of resistance or protest. But a reporter is not in that role... not usually. But on the other hand - these are strange times.

Don't know why she'd be afraid, though. Reporters need to be made of steel these days.

A Pro-Trump pastor is an oxygen-deprived moron.

And reporters need to be made of steel and protected by industrial-strength prophylactics, too.

OK. That's not accurate, because I can believe it. It's almost expected in this social-political climate.

Does anyone know what the Christian analog for Sharia law might be?
