During the National Prayer Service at Washington National Cathedral, Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde urged President Donald Trump to show mercy towards immigrants and LGBTQ+ individuals, highlighting the fear and insecurity many feel under his administration.
In response, President Trump criticized Bishop Budde, describing her as a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater” and calling her tone “nasty.”
This exchange underscores the tension between the administration’s policies and religious leaders advocating for marginalized communities.
