AND SAT DOWN WITH PROTESTORS AND
THE BLACK KPLUNTY TO COMMUNITY
TO UNDERSTAND BETTER WHAT THE
ORGANIZEMENT IS
ARGUMENT THEY ARE MAKING.
>> WE JUST SHOWED A PICTURE OF A
SEA OF PROTESTORS IN FRONT OF
TRUMP TOWER ON 5th AN KNEW, THAT
WAS A VERY LARGE GROUP JUST A
SHORT TIME AGO.
’S THE SCENE THERE, THAT IS ON
THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.
AGAIN, LARGELY PEACEFUL.
ACTUALLY FROM THIS VANTAGE
POINT, TOTALLY PEACEFUL.
THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, THE
THE PROTEST TOFRS ARE KNEELING
AND SEATED THERE IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.
THE E E HIS EPISCOPAL DIOCESE,
THIS IS WHAT THEY EXPLAINED TO
ME.
>> AFTER MAKING A HIGHLY
CHARGED, EMOTIONAL SPEECH TO THE
NATION WHERE HE THREATENED
MILITARY FORCE, HIS OFFICIALS
CLEARED PEACEFUL PROTESTS WITH
TEAR GAS AND HORSES AND WALKED
ON TO THE COURTYARD OF ST.
JOHN’S CHURCH AND HELD UP A
BIBLE AS IF IT WERE A PROP OR
EXTENSION OF HIS MILITARY AND
AUTHORITARIAN POSITION AND STOOD
IN FRONT OF OUR BUILDING AS IF P
IT WERE A BACKDROP FOR HIS
AGENDA.
>> DESPITE CRITICISM FROM
RELIGIOUS LEADERS, THE PRESIDENT
HOLDING WHAT APPEARED TO BE
PRETTY MUCH ANOTHER PHOTO OP
TODAY IN A SHRINE FOR POPE PAUL
JOHN XXII.
ARCH BISHOP GREGORY SAYING, I
FIND IT BAFFLING AND
REPREHENSIBLE THAT ANY CATHOLIC
FACILITY WOULD ALLOW ITSELF TO
BE SO EGREGIOUSLY MISUSED AND
MAN NIP
MANIPULATED.
AND IN A SPAN OF 24 HOURS,
REBUKES FROM RELIGIOUS LEADERS
AND YET THE PRESIDENT STILL
ENJOYS, AT LAST CHECK, ENJOYS A
CHUNK OF EVANGELICAL SUPPORT.
HOW CAN IT BE SHOULD.
>> THAT IS A QUESTION OF THE
AGES AT THIS POINT. THOSE WHOEX WHO PROTESS ALL OF
THOSE WHOEX WHO PROTESS ALL OF
THIS CHRISTIAN PURITY AND THIS
EYE
IDEALISM, IT BAFFLE THES A LOT
OF US CHRISTIANS, WHO SOME OF
THE FOLKS ARE AND HOW THEY GET
THERE, I STAND WITH THE ARCH
BISHOP.
IT IS BAFFLE THING AND IT IS NOT
JUST SOMETHING THAT IS
DISTURBING.
BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS
PROBLEMATIC.
AND TO HAVE THE PRESIDENT, AS
NOTED, WIELDING THIS BIBLE
AROUND ON CHURCH PROPERTY AS A
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, IT JUST --
IT IS THE HEIGHT OF
AUTHORITARIAN ACTION, THE
GALLING NATURE OF IT ALL AND
THEN TO NOT CARE.
YOU KNOW WHY?
THIS IS GOOD FOR THE FOLKS
WHO -- THEY SEE E THIS
AUTHORITARIANISM AS STRENGTH.
THEY THINK IT’S A GOOD THING.
BUT HEED THIS WORD, UNTIL IT
TURNS
TURNS ON YOU.
UNTIL IT TURNS ON YOU AND THEN
WHAT DO DO YOU?
YOU CAN’T FALL BACK ON THE
CONSISTENT FUSION AT
CONSTITUTION.
I YOU CAN’T FALL BACK ON THAT.
WHEN YOU SEE THAT GROUND TO
DONALD TRUMP, IT’S GONE, BABY.
YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THESE
THINGS.
THEY DO MATTER.
THERE’S A REASON WHY THINK
COUNTRY WAS FRAMED THE WAY IT
IS.
YEAH, WE GOT PROBLEMS.
AND THAT’S WHAT THE PROTESTS ARE
