Washington National Cathedral Condemns Trump’s Rhetoric, Calling it “Dangerous”

National Cathedral Criticizes Trump

In a rare political response, leadership at the Washington National Cathedral have released a statement criticizing Trump and his rhetoric after he attacked House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Elijah E. Cummings and the “Squad” of four congresswomen of color.

According to the Washington Times, church leaders said Trump’s “dangerous” diction is being seen as a white supremacist “call to action,” adding that “violent words lead to violent actions.” 

“As faith leaders who serve at Washington National Cathedral — the sacred space where America gathers at moments of national significance — we feel compelled to ask: After two years of President Trump’s words and actions, when will Americans have enough?” they said.

Trump sparked a feud over the weekend with Rep. Cummings, accusing him of stealing funds from his congressional district in Baltimore, which Trump called a “disgusting, rat and rodent-infested mess.”

He also received criticism earlier this month for telling Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts to “go back” to their “crime infested” countries for their criticisms of America.

While the Church’s statement didn’t cite either incident directly, it was signed by the top leaders of the Church including Mariann Edgar Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington; Randolph Marshall Hollerith, dean of Washington National Cathedral; and Kelly Brown Douglas, the cathedral’s canon theologian. 

Together the leaders expressed dismay at Trump’s rhetoric, saying, ”These words are more than a ‘dog-whistle.” 

The group went on to say “When such violent, dehumanizing words come from the President of the United States, they are a clarion call, and give cover, to white supremacists who consider people of color a sub-human ‘infestation’ in America.”
