Trump angers American religious leaders with Bible photo op..
Washington (AFP) - American religious leaders on Tuesday castigated Donald Trump for posing in front of a church holding a Bible after peaceful protesters were violently cleared from the surrounding area. "It was traumatic and deeply offensive, in the sense that something sacred was being misused for a political gesture," Washington's Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde said on public radio station NPR.
And former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said in a Tuesday speech: “The president held up the Bible at St John’s Church yesterday. I just wish he'd opened it once in a while, instead of brandishing it.”
