  • Father Pfleger speaks out on the bright side of a Trump win, haters, and more

    In a short but revealing interview with Chicago magazine, longtime antiviolence activist Father Michael Pfleger sounds off on everything from the recent presidential election to making “people uncomfortable with the status quo.” He even sees a bright spot regarding president-elect Donald Trump: “He rallied the worst elements of America in terms of racism, prejudice, supremacy, and arrogance. But at the same time, it was a tremendous gift: We want to somehow pretend that this America is not there, but now we can see,” he said. [Chicago magazine]
