The Flint, Mich., pastor who interrupted Donald Trump’s speech on Wednesday said she took that action after Trump decided to politicize his visit to the city suffering from a lead water crisis.

Bethel United Methodist Church Rev. Faith Green Timmons took to the stage during his visit to the city on Wednesday as he began to talk about his opponent Democrat Hillary Clinton. She told Trump, “I invited you here to thank us for what we’ve done in Flint, not give a political speech.”
