Christian Nationalist provocateur Sean Feucht kicked of a multi-state "Revive in 25" tour in Seattle over the weekend at Gasworks Park. Counter-protesters showed up to push back against his trans-phobic proselytizing. The group had initially planned to hold the event in Capitol Hill, but after speaking with the city changed venues and dropped plans to march through the city's gay neighborhood. Earlier this summer, Feucht's events in Capitol Hill and downtown ended with police arresting counter-protesters. But this weekend, the police held back and any confrontations that happened were peaceful. A few people were baptized at the end of the event. Feucht announced that his group had been invited by the Trump administration to hold an event on the Mall in DC.
