President Trump Declares That All ‘Houses of Worship’ are ‘Essential’ Amidst Coronavirus Pandemic

President Donald Trump boldly declared that all “houses of worship” are “essential” during a press conference on Friday.

Trump pointed out the hypocrisy in certain governors allowing liquor stores and abortion clinics to operate while pastors have been fined and apprehended for hosting church services. He set the record straight while addressing the media this afternoon.

“The governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to open right now–for this weekend,” Trump said. “If they don’t do it, I will override the governors.”

“In America, we need more prayer not less,” Trump added.

The order applies to Christian churches as well as synagogues and mosques and shows his dedication to preserving religious liberty amidst coronavirus mass hysteria.

Big League Politics has reported on the anti-Christian agenda that has taken hold throughout the pandemic:

A Mississippi church that suffered an arson incident is also in a battle with the city over a Wuhan virus shelter order.

According to investigators, First Pentecostal Church in Holly Springs was allegedly destroyed by an arsonist.

Investigators discovered graffiti on pavement in the church parking lot that read, “Bet you stay home now you hypokrits (sic).”

According to WLBT 3, Jerry Waldrop has been the church’s pastor for 31 years.

“We’ve tacked our brains and we have no idea,” Waldrop stated. “No enemies that we know of. We don’t know anyone that we even think could be capable of doing something like this.”

The fire came after Waldrop sued the City of Holly Springs in April. The 14-page document alleges that local police officers abruptly interrupted a mid-week bible study and the church’s Easter service 10 days earlier.

According to the complaint, the pastor conducted outdoor services when circumstances permitted but would hold them indoors while complying with social distancing standards when the weather got bad.

The complaint also demanded a temporary restraining order to keep Holly Springs from keeping services from taking place inside the church building.

The issue arose from Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves’ inclusion of churches with essential businesses in the state’s shelter order, but Holly Springs did not so.

“It is very clear local municipalities can have guidelines that are more strict than the governor’s guidelines, but they cannot have guidelines that directly conflict with what we have put in place,” Reeves said during a news conference on May 20.

Holly Springs City Attorney Shirley Byers stated that the city did not consider churches essential businesses in the shelter order enacted on March 23 but subsequently amended on April 24 to let churches conduct drive-thru services.

Trump’s declaration in favor of freedom of religion comes not a moment too soon, with faith under attack like never before.
