The president of the United States had just tweeted at him, a Baptist pastor in Kentucky who up until now hadn't had any reason to be the subject of national attention. And President Donald Trump was, online, in public, out of the blue, insulting him.
Dear Mr. President, I’m a Casualty of Your Drive-By Tweeting War. We all are. https://t.co/QsTa5Rqr4e@realDonaldTrump @POTUS @jonkarl pic.twitter.com/6Y0cyTmTs7 "Although I was an accidental casualty caught in the cross-fire of your 'lightweight' tweet, your attack was very purposeful and hurtful. Many others, whether American citizens or global citizens, feel wounded and hurt by the shrapnel and side-effects of your ongoing Twitter attacks," Carl wrote in his letter.
Carl, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post, is the lead pastor at South Fork Baptist Church in Hodgenville, Kentucky. According to an online biography, he is an Iraq War veteran, holds a PhD from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and is raising three daughters with his wife.
