What could make a person do that to a church?” The church fires have, of course, drawn wide coverage and attention. The Louisiana governor mentioned it in his recent state of the state. But top Trump administration officials have not spoken out on or condemned the violence.In the wake of the Notre Dame fire, veteran journalist Soledad O’Brien tweeted about this.
