Trump slams pro-LGBT female ‘bishop’ who hijacked national prayer service with woke sermon
The president called Mariann Edgar Budde 'a Radical Left hard line Trump hater' who 'brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. ... She and her church owe the public an apology!'

(LifeSiteNews) — A liberal Episcopal clergywoman is being criticized after she hijacked the National Prayer Service to push the LGBT agenda.
Yesterday, President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their families
descended on the National
Cathedral in Washington D.C., which is part of the worldwide Anglican
Church. Commissioned by the U.S. Congress in the 19th century, the building has
hosted 10 inaugural Prayer Services since 1933 as well as multiplepresidential funerals, most recently Jimmy
Carter’s.
Tuesday’s inter-religious event was intended to act as a non-partisan, spiritually uplifting ceremony to kick off the president’s new four-year term but that was undermined by Mariann Budde, who used her sermon to promote woke ideology.
“Let me make one final plea, Mr. President,” she said, addressing herself to Trump, who looked uninterested. “In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now … 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, “she continued, “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.”
Budde, 65, was responding to two executive orders that Trump signed earlier in the week. One instructed the U.S. government to only recognize two sexes, male and female, and the other declared an emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump immediately let his feelings be known by telling the press back at the White House that he didn’t believe it was a good service.
He followed that up by issuing a statement on social media.
“The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater,” he exclaimed. “She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our country and killed people.”
“Apart from her inappropriate statements,” he added, “the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!”
