PROTESTS: [Sean Spicer: “Why did you go to St. John’s the other day? What was the message that you wanted to send the people?”] “So, I went there because somebody suggested it was a good idea and I thought it was a great idea, and it was a great idea. I didn’t know if there were people around there or not. Somebody said, oh, they were so peaceful. Well, they tried to burn down the church the day before and almost succeeded. The church was badly hurt.”
