Summary
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal bishop at the Washington National Cathedral, directly confronted Donald Trump during his inaugural prayer service, urging him to show compassion for marginalized groups.
She criticized his policies on LGBTQ rights, mass deportations, and immigration, calling for mercy toward undocumented immigrants and children fearing family separation.
Trump dismissed the sermon as “not too exciting,” while his supporters condemned Budde’s remarks as inappropriate.
Budde’s bold address marked the first public challenge to Trump’s agenda during his second term.
Except he panders to the church as it suits him.
Shoving protest crowds aside so you can awkwardly take a picture with a Bible in front of a church.
Claiming Israel has a divine right to Palestinian land.
But discards the significance and teachings of the church as it suits him. Shouldn’t have it both ways.
I know the priest of the church he does photo ops at outside of Mar A Lago. Trump never attends church.
