KathyBurke State and church need to be separated, for too long America has committed atrocities in the name of God. Britain colonised the world using religion as one of its weapons and America has taken that method in everything... Religion has no place in politics

😢

Oh brother!

Well we found it awesome.

joycemarieh66 Newsflash: he did this to make a campaign video for his followers. He gassed protesters to clear the way for a goddamn campaign video that was posted tonight.

Sit

He was preceded. Come on NBC, our kids may be destroying the English but do you guys have to follow suit?

Bishop Budde sounds stupid as hell .. WHAT I FIND OFFENSIVE? Your church almost getting burned down to the ground But your mad at Trump for a picture .. LOL .. your freaking deranged ..

Lame stream media

NBC IS PART OF A TERRORISTS GROUP THE MSM

He is a BigBlasphemer

bishop sounds more like a politician with an agenda than a spiritual advisor/person of faith, how much of the bible have you forgotten?

Those white supremacist who support Trump have a look at this. You've gotta trust the Bishop.

No kidding the Episcopal Church does not condone racism, elitism and blatent non Christian values so many Evangelicals condone and expel the Gospel of Wealth is Satanic. Don't say we are just Christians were not perfect nor say we are the only way. John Darby was asked to leave

So this bishop is more upset about Trump visiting the church than the fact is that it was burned down? Who are these people?

'Our Church?' Isn't this one known as 'The President's Church?' Shouldn't someone rejoice that a 'sinner' is going to church?

Seems like you would be praying for him...

This is fake news

Democrat tears

Waaaaaa he is mean

Budde calls the church his (not God's Temple!) And is unhappy that a person holds the Bible to support the soul, then he (Budde) is not a bishop of the temple of the Light of God!

Can you confirm or deny they were given three warnings over loud speaker to clear the area due to curfew before tear gas was deployed?

Whaaaa. The permit-free 'paraders' were forced off the street. Whaaaa. Screw. Off.

A violent clearing of non-violent protesters on the way to the church? Wow, none of that happened!!! What in the hell?

Trump has no shsme!

God is available to ALL.

And he a rapist

Live updates: Trump poses for photos at church after police gas, force out peaceful protestersTrump’s vow to to deploy federal troops if state and city leaders don’t act to quell acts of violence and looting comes as congressional Democrats denounced his threat as the behavior of a would-be authoritarian leader. And a good percentage of the protesters/rioters aren't listening!! free blacks! It's not about George Floyd, or his family for that matter. It's about the previous 100s and the next 50, 60, 70 black men who will be murdered by police under this God awful homicidal, genocidal Capitalist government.
