Trump Attacks Flint Pastor Who Interrupted Him, Accuses Her of ‘Sabotage’

Donald Trump attacked the Flint pastor who interrupted his speech at Bethel United Methodist Church Wednesday after he veered into politics, telling Fox & Friends that he believed she planned it in advance.

Co-host Steve Doocy asked Trump about a Facebook post from Faith Green-Timmons before the event saying that her congregation would “educate” Trump and not be used by him. “Some have suggested online that they were out to sabatoge you by putting that up,” he said.

“Something was up,” Trump agreed, “because I noticed she was so nervous when she introduced me.”

Trump also noted the fact that she had contacted ABC and NBC beforehand. “When she got up to introduce me, she was so nervous. She was shaking and I said, ‘Wow, this is strange.’ She came up. So she had that in mind, there’s no question about it.”

“It doesn’t bother me,” he continued. “I mean, everyone plays their games. It doesn’t bother me.”
