Candace Cameron Bure Causes a Stir Over New Photos With Controversial Political Figures
Candace Cameron Burestirred up some strong reactions with her recent trip to Washington, D.C.
The Fuller House actress, 50, was one of the speakers who helped kick off the inaugural "America Reads the Bible" over the weekend, where she interacted with some polarizing political figures that were later featured on her Instagram page.
In the photos posted to Instagram on Sunday, April 19, Cameron Bure documented the first day of the week-long event with some of the other notable attendees, including speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson. She also posed for pictures with Fox News host Shannon Bream and Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott.
Cameron Bure's post also featured a screenshot of the event's lineup of speakers, where she was listed alongside President Donald Trump, Johnson, Secretary of State Marco Rubioand actress Patricia Heaton.
After attending the opening celebration on Saturday, April 18, Cameron Bure stepped out again on Sunday at the Museum Of The Bible, where she was tasked with reading a few chapters from the first book of the Bible.
Sharing a montage of photos to Instagram after the event, Cameron Bure wrote, "From government officials, to farmers, pastors, entertainers, educators, and every day American moms and dads, and even the President. We are all united and reminded that we are equal in God's eyes. God's love for us is so patient. Let us be reminded of His wisdom and goodness for us when we repent and rend our hearts to Him."
"I'm honored to be a part of @americartbible," she added.
But the Full House alum's post wasn't well-received by many of her followers, particularly those who were disappointed to see Cameron Bure interacting with members of the Trump administration.
"Big yikes," one user wrote under the post, while another person commented, "Such a joke."
"So much for separation of church and state," someone else chimed in.
One user asked Cameron Bure, "I'm curious, what part of this administration represents your Christian values?" while another told her, "Your work and message is so much more impactful when it is not clouded by politicians."
"Are you kidding me. Do something that's actually good and Christian," someone else wrote, adding, "This isn't it."
But Cameron Bure's photos garnered positive attention from many of her loyal followers, as well as a few of her celebrity pals, including Perez Hilton, who commented a cross emoji "✝️" under the post.
Real Housewives of Orange County's Gretchen Rossi also added, "👏👏👏, while Cameron Bure's fellow Great American Family actress Jen Lilley added, "Sad I missed you! Love you so much! 🇺🇸❤️"
