US pastor on leave after Melania Trump 'trophy wife' comments
7 March 2021
A Baptist preacher in Missouri has gone on leave after a backlash over comments he made about women's appearances.
Pastor Stewart-Allen Clark drew scorn for a sermon offering advice to wives he said would stop their husbands becoming "distracted" by other women.
It included comments about Melania Trump whom he described as "the epic trophy wife of all time".
The pastor's General Baptist denomination has admonished him for his comments.
A 22-minute video of his February sermon was shared on Facebook, where it has been viewed thousands of times.
In it, he is seen using a well-known online meme of a distracted boyfriend to tell women not to "give him a reason to be looking around".
