"Before I hit send [on the tweet], you try to do as much research as you can. You see the horrific videos that were posted of them. You read about what they’re trying to do. There’s things that are deeply offensive to us. And then you see that, well, they’re doing these things, they’re raising money for this that and the other. They’ve been doing it for over 30 years. But there’s a point where the Dodgers reinvited them after knowing very well what they’ve been doing for the last 30 years.
"When I saw how deeply offensive it was — doing awful things to the cross — it became a point where these negatives should not be honored, and they shouldn’t be mocking a certain group."Despite the bad feedback, the Dodgers have stood strong with their reconsideration and reinvitation to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and they are expected to be at Dodger Stadium this Friday.
