Around the time [Cardinal] O’Malley sent his letter [calling for supplemental aid for ministering to migrants], Catholic Charities received an urgent alert from Catholic Charities USA warning them to take steps to protect the safety of their teams and clients after a very disturbing online threat emerged, according to an agency spokesperson.
The spokesperson provided the Herald with an article from Newsweek about how Stew Peters, a conservative commentator and radio host, slammed Catholic Charities USA for helping migrants while addressing the crisis during the Fall Freedom Fest in Florida.
“We need troops on the border that will shoot people that are trying to invade our country. That’d be a good first step.” Peters said. “But you know what a better second step would be? Shooting everyone involved with these fake charities.”
