They were warned &#8212; first by New York City police officers, then by a cathedral functionary &#8212; that they would face criminal trespassing charges if they tried to enter.

He sounds just like one, or anyway, like some talk-radio character who thinks the GOP went soft when Reagan&#8217;s promise to outlaw Russia turned out to be a joke.
