The Bishop Who Pleaded With Trump: ‘Was Anyone Going to Say Anything?’

Bishop Budde locked eyes with President Trump and made a plea for mercy — and the war over spiritual authority in America was ignited anew.

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” she explained quietly in an interview on Tuesday night. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?”

Transcript:

“Let me make one final plea, Mr. President: Millions have put their trust in you. And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives. And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here, Mr. President.”

'It's very scary to see': KKK flyers spark concern in Northern Kentucky neighborhoods

The flyer read, "Leave now avoid deportation," and included information for KKK groups in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.

Residents in Northern Kentucky are on edge after discovering flyers promoting the Ku Klux Klan in several neighborhoods.

The flyers, which have been found over the past few days, have prompted local police to reach out to federal authorities.

Bonnie, who was visiting her sister in Bellevue, said she found one of the flyers next to her car.

"I found it this morning when I came over, and it was literally lying next to my car," Bonnie said.

She noted that there was also one in a neighbor's yard. The flyer read, "Leave now avoid deportation," and included information for KKK groups in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.

"It’s very scary to see something like that," Bonnie said.

The flyers have also been reported in Ludlow, Fort Wright, and Fort Mitchell.

"Completely flabbergasted when I saw that. 15 years doing this, and I’ve never seen anything like this," said Bellevue Police Chief Jon McClain.

Good cop

Chief McClain said that it's difficult to prosecute those responsible due to free speech protections.

"We find you putting this stuff out, and we’ll prosecute you for littering if we have to. We don’t want trash in our city, whether it be a pop can, a hamburger wrapper, or this garbage. We don’t need that on our streets," McClain said.
