Father Michael Pfleger, Chicago's most fearless Catholic priest, just "Eviscerated Donald Trump in a city Rally downtown Chicago this week: These are his narrative utterance proclamations: READ & LET THE WORDS OF FATHER PFLEGER SINK IN.. He began by calling out Trump’s illegal and un-American threats to deploy the National Guard against his own people. His voice thundered across Daley Plaza: “Your threats to invade Chicago…to declare war on the rights and freedoms of citizens by ordering masked men in unmarked cars and kidnapping men, women, and children… WILL be challenged!” But what makes Father Pfleger’s firebomb so devastating is that he didn’t just resist Trump—he united the country against him. With scripture in his mouth and steel in his voice, he proclaimed: “Your insanity and intimidation will NOT intimidate us or frighten us; rather, it’s stirred up our faith and it’s a rallying call to us for together like the valley of dry bones.” He painted a vision that Trump’s divided America could never see: “It’s connecting Black and white, brown and yellow, Muslims, Christians, and Jews, young and old. We’re coming together as an army of faith, and we will NOT sit still, and we will not sit down. We WILL Rise up, Stand up and Speak up for the most vulnerable and those at risk.” And then—like a prophet staring straight at a false king—Father Pfleger brought down the hammer of history: “Just as God destroyed the golden calf of our ancestors… He destroyed the golden calf of tyranny and fascism. You may control your incompetent cabinet… You may control the pawns and weak-minded members of Congress… you may even control the spineless Supreme Court Justices, but you DO NOT control the "God we serve!” “The people of faith who are gathered here and rising across this country want you to know you have met your match," he added. Finally, in one of the most defiant rebukes ever delivered to Trump, Father Pfleger ended with the line that should be printed on every protest sign
