Political Bishop Marian Budde who came under fire after lecturing President Donald Trump at the National Prayer Service defended her conversation and said she was only trying to say the truth while Donald Trump politicized her statement. The Episcopal priest of DC turned her statement into a diatribe about unlawful refugees, immigrants and the Transgender community. Donald Trump sought an explanation from her as he called her a radical kept hard line Trump bigot.
“The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater, ” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way, ” he said — saying she did so in a “nasty ” tone that was “not compelling or smart. ”
Referring to the bishop’s’have kindness’ on expat communities appeal, Trump said the priest failed to mention the large number of illegal workers that came into the US and killed individuals. “She is not very nice at her work! She and her temple owe the government an apology! ” he wrote.
Reacting to the discussion, the priest said her communication was politicized but it was kind of a given that her communication may be politicized, she said. ” I think if you read what I said, I mean how could it not be politicized, best? We are in a hyper-political environment. One of the things I caution about is the tradition of hatred in which we live that soon rushes to the worst conceivable interpretations of what people are saying and to place them in groups. That’s part of the air we breathe then,” the priest said.
” I was trying to speak a fact that I felt needed to be said but to do it in a polite and friendly way as I was,” she said.
What did the priest say with Donald Trump in the market?
” You have felt the divine hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared then,” Budde said in a strong appeal to Trump. In her speech, Budde said they gathered” to beg for unification as a people and a nation- never for agreement, social or usually- but for the kind of unity that fosters community across diversity and division. “
