Democrat Female Bishop lectures Trump to think of “people who pick our crops” – New appointee bites back

The Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde manipulated and weaponized The Word of God to make a political statement towards President Donald Trump at the National Prayer Service at the Washington National Cathedral today.

Mariann Edgar Budde (born December 10, 1959) is an Episcopal prelate who has served as Bishop of Washington since 2011.

Instead of giving an uplifting sermon it was a long-winded reprimand of Trump’s actions and shaming him for his admin’s goals. In a politically weaponized service Bishop Budde is called for Donald Trump to step in and “protect” LGBT children while also pleading for him to stop deporting illegal immigrants, all at the so-called “bipartisan” Interfaith Prayer Service.

In the Name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” Budde stated. “There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families. Some who fear for their lives.

“The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens, or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.”

Someone should tell her it’s not appropriate to attack someone in church. And point out that anyone here illegally is a criminal.

There’s a lot of meme material here.

Trump was underwhelmed

Melania and JD Vance are Catholic and probably don’t enjoy multi-denominational service very much. Trump has attended many but this one he didn’t;t particularly like. This woman also stole attention away from the other preachers and ministers which was a selfish move and reflects badly on the Episcopal church.

Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent claps back and demands apology.
