Two Catholic bishops have expressed regret about agreeing to a White House meeting that produced a publicly distributed photo of them praying with Donald Trump.
Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob, in a statement titled “A Public Apology,” said Sunday that he had received many questions and comments — some of them distraught — about the meeting on Thursday which he and 11 other bishops attended.
He said the meeting was speedily publicized by the White House with photos and a video, without consent of the participants, and less than two weeks away from the midterm elections.
Yeah, that’s why Roosevelt and Churchill were so buddy-buddy with Hitler in the late 30s and through the 40s.
Oh, that’s right, they weren’t.
Part of diplomacy is communicating when there are lines that cannot be crossed without consequences.
“Buddy buddy” and “diplomatic” are not the same thing.
