Clarence Page: Pope’s Trump Comment What ‘A Liberal, Progressive Minister Would Say’

Screenshot

Chicago Tribune editorial board member Clarence Page stated that Pope Francis’ statement about GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is something “a liberal, progressive minister would say, in off-the-cuff conversation” on this weekend’s “McLaughlin Group.”

Page said, “[T]he statement that Trump’s attitude of building walls instead of bridges is not Christian did not startle me. It’s the kind of thing that ministers say, that a liberal, progressive minister would say, in off-the-cuff conversation.”

Page added that Trump responded “as he often does, with thin-skinned, overreach.”
