Mariann Edgar Budde, the bishop who offered a pointed message to President Trump, has been on a media tour in recent days appearing on CNN, MSNBC and "The View." The bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington went viral Tuesday morning for her pointed message directed at Pres. Donald Trump, who was joined in the pews by Vice Pres. JD Vance and their families for the National Prayer Service.
"Let me make one final plea, Mr. President," Budde said. "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 vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors," she continued.
