FLINT, MI -- The Flint pastor who interrupted then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2016 and reminded him not to talk politics in her church says she and her family received death threats after the incident.

The Rev. Faith Green Timmons of Bethel United Methodist Church made the remark Sunday, Jan. 14, in her sermon to an annual NAACP Martin Luther King Jr. service at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, according to this report from Lancaster Online.

Timmons interrupted Trump during his September 2016 visit to her church, asking him to stop when he began discussing Hillary Clinton and what he called the Democratic candidate's failures on the economy and foreign policy.

"I invited you here to thank us for what we've done in Flint, not give a political speech," Timmons said at the time to Trump, cutting him off.

A small crowd at the church applauded at the time, but appearing on "Fox and Friends" later, Trump later called the pastor a "nervous mess."

In the wake of the event, Timmons said she and her family received death threats, according to the Lancaster Online report.

Timmons was disappointed that among those who attacked her were evangelicals who supported Trump, reminding her of the persecution faced by Jesus and by King, the story says.

The irony, she said, is "I'm an evangelical and a conservative."
