Pastor Timmons Not Timid

Rev. Faith Green Timmons 

Mr. Trump must have figured he’d have an easy time in Flint the other day. After all he had just sailed through an interview with a Detroit minister.

But this time he picked the wrong church and the wrong pastor. Instead of a free pass to speak his usual belligerent bully talk, he was politely stopped and asked to speak to the topic he said he was going to discuss before the invited church guests.

According to Detroit Free Press, Bethel United Methodist Church pastor, the Rev. Faith Green Timmons said, “I thought he wanted to see that we gave out food and water, and when his statement went beyond what he originally said, I asked him to stick to what he was originally going to say. He’s welcome to come and see what we’re doing in Flint. We’re doing well. We’re helping those in need. And I wanted him to see the best of Flint.”

Pastor Timmons was not timid when it came to facing down Mr. Trump. It’s remarkable isn’t it? Pastor Timmons rates no. 1 among the few who will not take s**t from anyone, including a world-class bully. She’s my hero.
