Pastor Faith responds to Trump

“The United Methodist Church has open hearts, open doors and open minds. Mr. Trump's campaign claimed he was swinging by and stepping through only to greet the volunteers and thank them with no political rhetoric of any kind,” she wrote in a brief statement on her church’s Facebook page. “That was stated. When it went further than that I did exactly what we agreed I would do.”

“Had he stuck to what his camp claimed he came to do, we would not have had a problem! - Good night,” she posted on her personal page.

It also ticks me off that he said that she was shaking when she introduced him. <*ahem!*> She did not introduce him, so how could she be shaking? See the video below. It's just over 6 minutes.



The good pastor stopped a couple people from heckling him - this is how he treats her?!

Donnie is being his usual vulgar, lying self.

kinda like a knife in the back. He gets all big and brash when she's nowhere around and he can insult her behind her back. Too CHICKEN to face her.

He's a phony and a poseur. And a coward.

It would have given him ammunition to claim victim hood, which he was almost certain to do anyway. She handled things professionally and let him be the ass that he has to be. He knows no other way. I think that letting him make a fool of himself is always the best way to go. His followers will not be swayed. What we are hoping is that anyone who (beyond my understanding) is still not decided will continue to see his behavior and be repulsed enough to stay away or vote against him.

than the good pastor. His claim that she was "nervous" when she introduced him is obviously false, as he was introduced by a man. Right here in the video you posted earlier today.

slinks away and says mean, nasty stuff about his challenger. Did the same thing with the Pres of Mexico. Hope Hillary has noted this for the debates. Gitcher popcorn popping.

The moment he put some distance between them, he turned into a "tough guy". How can anyone buy his phony act?
