President Trump and his political advisers have grown concerned as recent polls show a sliding confidence among religious conservatives over his handling of coronavirus, people familiar with the matter say.

His photo-op outside St. John's Episcopal Church across Lafayette Square from the White House on Monday came only after protesters -- and some members of the church's clergy -- were pushed back using tear gas and flash bangs. The episode drew sharp criticism from the bishop who oversees the church, who called it a"charade."Ahead of the President's Tuesday visit, Washington Archbishop Wilton D.

The Episcopal Bishop of Washington called into CNN Monday night to tell Anderson Cooper she was"outraged" by the St. John's photo op. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde called the event"antithetical to the teachings of Jesus."On CNN the next morning, Budde described the event as a"charade.""Let me be clear: he did not come to pray.

Finally the bizarre photo op explained. 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

He has never led a Christian life so who the hell is he kidding

We have seen how Democrat politicians disregard and abandon law abiding Americans, and we will be voting a straight Republican ticket in November

No one has to go in a church or be very religious to be close to God and to want people to follow God's values.

Living conditions of minorities and low income workers have deteriorated since trade deals brought in cheap goods outsourced jobs whole supply chains to communist regimes. INCOME main issue of 50 million Americans for which a basic income is needed and paid for stock mkt salestax

One by one failures against President Trump: the hi-jacked Democratic Party tried Russian collusion-Fail. The impeachment hearings-Fail. Politicizing Coronas virus-Fail. Now, inciting riots. This will FAIL too. What’s next? Whatever it is it will FAIL too!

Lying radical dirtbags

Religious Conservatives?

Again hoping that realDonaldTrump will lose, you people never learn! No matter what POTUS will do, we will support him all the way! We need a strong man in the White House, the reason why America is weak right now is because of the Democrats snowflakes!

More Fake News.

It’s like saying Hitler was Religious . Trump is Hitler reborn

Did you really think a photo op at a church and holding a bible would get you votes from the religious sector?

Fake news

If CNN carries out like this no wonder CNN lies. Brian Stelter, Washington Post face backlash for comparing arrest of CNN crew to George Floyd's death

fakenews Twitter when will you take down these fake stories or fact check them?

I’m sorry but if you’re a Christian and support this clown you really have zero clue what being a Christian means. SHAME ON YOU!!!! And shame on this clown for using a Bible for his own games. Disgusting VoteTrumpOut2020

Hypocrite

Polls are Modern Propoganda. Goebbels would be Proud of CNN’s mastery of the propaganda machine. The only issue is that We See Right Through your Crap Propaganda.

Apparently religious conservatives know phony behavior when they see it. They were seeing it before the photo op in front of a church across from the White House that Trump doesn't attend, before he held up a Bible that wasn't his, making promises to them that he cannot keep

The virus is apparently a non-issue. No way all these riots can be going on and it NOT spread throughout the cities.

Fake and biased news as always!

Trump 2020✌❤💛💙💚

His political advisers are crazy as he is.

Thus the reason for his stunt yesterday? Pitiful & disgusting

Hey evangelicals...what did you think of his use of tear gas to clear the protesters so he could stand in front of a church he seldom attends waving his bible like a holy roller? How’s this reality show working out for you? DumpTrump2020 VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020

And now trump is actively using religious organizations & insulting people of all faith; he is making mockery of religion
