“The United Methodist Church has open hearts, open doors and open minds. Mr. Trump's campaign claimed he was swinging by and stepping through only to greet the volunteers and thank them with no political rhetoric of any kind,” she wrote in a brief statement on her church’s Facebook
page. “That was stated. When it went further than that I did exactly what we agreed I would do. Had he stuck to what his camp claimed he came to do, we would not have had a problem! - Good night,” she posted on her personal
page.
“If he had only stuck with his stated purpose,” Timmons continued in the comments section of her Facebook post. “I would not let others [the hecklers at the event] make this a platform to disrespect him either.
He said his ONE goal was to learn more about the water situation and observe & thank the volunteers in action.”
