Pastor’s unholy row with Trump accuser
ALTHOUGH Jesus taught peace and love, his disciples in the US don’t always follow his example.
Conservative evangelical pastor Rodney HowardBrowne this week lamented not physically assaulting Donald Trump’s former National Security Adviser John Bolton when he had the chance.
The churchman, 58, lashed out at Bolton after his upcoming book claimed that the US leader had committed crimes worthy of impeachment.
“You are a slimeball of the highest order,” tweeted Howard-Browne. “I should have knocked your sorry butt through the door of the Oval Office into the rose garden when I saw you. I would have gladly been arrested... what a Benedict Arnold [traitor]. I am glad you were fired.” Jesus would be so proud.

P.S. Away for two weeks from my local and my barman Richard was surprisingly pleased to see me. He admitted he had been lonely. “It got that bad, I’d log into websites with two-step verification just to get a text message,” he complained.
