They went to the meeting knowing full well who it was with and when it was happening. Now they're trying to weasel out of blowback from their "flock".
Interesting to see if there's any reaction ftom Pope Bob.

Who in their wildest dreams could have imagined
that publicly praying with the President
right before an election
was actually a publicity stunt
for the President's party!

"I feel a heavy sadness, not only over the pain I caused, but also for the fact that something so sacred to a group of religious leaders, prayer to our Heavenly Father, would be manipulated in that way," Grob said.

Oh f*&^ off.

Nobody is so stupid as to not know what or who Trump is at this point.
