Ralph Reed, the founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, a pro-family public policy organization, rebuked The Washington Post for attacking Evangelical Christians on the same day there was an assassination attempt on the former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
"The @washingtonpost publishes a piece claiming evangelical Christians who support Trump are extremists prone to violence on the same day someone tries to assassinate President Trump. Really pathetic & embarrassing for WaPo."
In an earlier post in the minutes after the shooting, Reed wrote: "Praying for President Trump. Please pray."
