WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump has called for all churches and places of worship to open as all 50 states have begun easing COVID-19 restrictions.
"I call on all governors to allow churches and places of worship to open right now," Trump said.
Trump deems church essential and threatens to override state governors if they keep them closed.
"Some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential but have left out churches and other houses of worship," Trump said. "It's not right, and I am correcting the injustice."
President Donald Trump announced Friday at a surprise briefing at the White House new detailed federal guidelines allowing churches to reopen during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Today, I am identifying houses of worship, churches, synagogues, and mosques as essential places that provide essential services,” Trump said, announcing the release of new Centers for Disease Control guidelines.
