PRESS CONFERENCE: OH Clergy Stand with 1200 Christian Women Leaders
Condemning Trump's Abusive Remarks
Columbus, OH -- In a response to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s abhorrent remarks regarding sexual assault, Christian women from Columbus are calling on Trump to repent for the sins of sexual violence and misogyny.
More than 60 women clergy from Ohio have endorsed a national petition signed by more than 1,200 faith leaders urging Christians to reject efforts to excuse Mr. Trump’s violent speech about women as a minor mistake or an innocent attempt to be “macho."
