At a sermon preached to President Trump at Washington National Cathedral, Bishop Mariann Budde asked him to "have mercy" on people who are "scared," including LGBTQ children.

When I was a kid KKK would spread flyers in yards of black neighborhoods that read" We hate Ni**s-J**s and Queers aka LGBTQ to them"
The same people Trump call "his people/good people!" They Hate Ni*-J*and Q*!" Trump agree with their beliefs,they're his supporters/voters. So her words didn't matter.
And instead of contemplating on the plea by the bishop, Donald attacked her on social media & signed the most extreme & absurd executive orders & pardons on day one. https://youtu.be/3IoYFFE-LJE
I'm not a Christian but I love her already! Speaking the true words of Christ. To love and respect all humans. Something Das Führer doesn't understand.
He talks about immigrants like every single one of them is a murderer. Which is simply not true. He just pardoned all of his criminal cult followers that disrespected and desecrated the capital on January 6th. He let those criminals go. I don't understand why they voted for such a racist person.
He claims to be chosen by God but condemns a person actually speaking the truth of God. The fake Christian righteousness of MAGA is at its finest here.
He all but rolled his eyes when they started the lord's prayer. He WILL close his eyes during the service as he nods off but can't pretend to be respectful by closing his eyes during a prayer.
IT’S UP TO US NOW!!

No matter how hard they try we have been and will always be here. We are here. We are queer. We are brown. We speak Spanish. We love proudly.They have been trying to get rid of us since they came into our country and have yet to succeed. We shall endure. Stay strong mi gente. 🇲🇽🏳️🌈✊🏽
This was epic. I watched the clip, and you could actually see his unease and anger. Unfortunately, he is Satan incarnate and will not have mercy on humanity.
NPR. I think you're slippin. This is NOT the first article that I feel has been questionable. And it is a huge disappointment. My trust in you is waining very quickly.
Awwww - are the kinds of things Jesus taught offensive? Is the sermon on the mount too wimpy and woke for you? Maybe you’re not really Christian.

Just because a horrible person bought the election with oligarch money, with an open agenda of getting even with everyone who wronged him (=didn’t kiss his ass like the GOP), doesn’t turn him into a paragon of virtue. He’s still a weak, petty, angry man who has to have his way all the time.
Also, the way npr treated the woman who runs "under the desk news" page on tictok was unfair and uncalled for. Shew that was alot, hope this helps. So, thanks?
BUT I do think in several recent npr articles they used questionable language for the problems he is causing. Many other people were not happy with the verbiage used in that article, so I didn't think to elaborate on my position.
Really came out swinging, didn't you. Apparently, I need to do a better job of inferring what side of the fence I'm on. Thank you for the lesson. Regardless of religious affiliations, I think the Bishop is an absolute BOSS for what she did. I did not vote for the orange man.
Meanwhile the childish egomaniac narcissist got "offended" because he got confronted with his evil and non Cristian policies...
What is even more awkward is the full support of so many evangelical cult leaders, what exposes their completely fake and hypocritical "Christian" preaching...
😒
@npr.org You should correct the headline of the article. She did not confront him. That sounds bad and argumentative. She offered a heartwarming prayer and asked for human decency.
Good for this bishop - standing in her truth and speaking it to power. May she blessed and protected. And may we all be inspired by her example and be as brave.

The only thing that would have upset him more is if she had been an ethnic minority..... More specifically, if she had been Haitian, it would have done him in!
Unfortunately pleas like this only give the right hard-ons and reinforce the bullying. They are seen as weakness - which is EXACTLY what nourishes a bully.
This headline is misleading. She did not confront. She asked for mercy for the LGBTQ community and migrants. Trump hawked bibles during the election to swindle voters into thinking he is Christian. He isn’t, and he looked like a fraud when she schooled him on a basic tenet of Christianity.
Spread the word! The Episcopal Diocese of Washington has a YouTube channel and Facebook page - lots of hate in the comments! We need to counter that hate with positive comments. Go here:
This was a simple Christian message that an unfaithful malignant narcissist can never understand.
Thank you, Bishop Budde, for proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Many are not familiar with this message, thanks to Christian leaders who are now misleading leaders.
The Bishop did not “confront” Trump. That’s terrible journalism. She was respectful and also clear about asking for mercy for people who need it. It’s called being a real pastor, and leader.
You can tell true character when DJT (CF) publicly castigates you for speaking truth. Alas, her words were only heard by folks who already know the truth.
And the poor baby has already posted his anger towards her. He has no clue what it means to have empathy or compassion for any human being. He has 0 qualifications for a leader.
A King just asked a Bishop to bend the knee to the crown. The last time this happened it was a British king asking Cardinal Thomas Becket to kiss the ring.
It isn't my country, but i am also scared for it. His willingness to unleash great suffering in order to build a more corrupt nation is gravely concerning. You are in my prayers....as is he and MAGA.
Christ was merciful to the stranger and the outcast. If Trump was saved by God to do good work in the US, maybe God will open DJT’s ears, eyes, and heart — much against his will. Unfortunately, many see Grace and mercy as weakness and violence and oppression as strength.
He the. Turned around and blasted her (online where he’s safe) and denigrated her to the world. All because she asked him to have mercy on children. He is a hateful and evil monster. Oppose him at every opportunity. Follow no orders.
He didn't listen. He will ethnically cleanse the US and start WW3. He probably thinks along the lines of being very old and near death, why would anyone else get to live in the future?
“Confronted” nothing. Please choose your words more carefully, #NPR, otherwise it would appear that you, too, are hoping to appease the new administration.
This psychopath and his minions will do NOTHING to improve health care, housing, increase minimum wage and/or ensure good education for all. Jesus would have approved the Bishop’s reflections.
If Congressional Medal of Honor even held any honor I would say bestow it upon her but in the Upside Down, all I can offer is my utmost thanks and sheer appreciation
Jerk in Chief is now demanding an apology for her "attack." Funny how the person who didn't put his hand on the bible during his oath is now demanding an apology from a member of the clergy for doing the Christian thing and asking for mercy. I don't think he knows the meaning of the word anyway.
If it was a message that Jimmy Carter & Rosalyn would’ve been receiving,
they would have graciously nodded along and been invigorated by it since they were actually true Christians.
Not fake, phony frauds that thrive on bullshit.
These folks are literally championing cartels & violence.😏
It’s golden. The more that phony fake GOP has to defend these shitty actions- the more that pendulum swings back. Notice he wants to pardon the worst criminal after screaming about caravans & drugs. They all looked like deer in headlights to be forced to hear a loving message that matters. Ha
I do not believe in organized religion but I have to admit, it was fun watching the Felon and his grifter posse nearly catch on fire in a house of worship.
He thinks position of power = value. So because she isn't respecting the leverage he has, he is going to talk down to it. Too many people have been skinner boxed by upbringing and money.
Watch the video of this. Every Trump family member looked like they were waiting for the Church to burn down. Especially the odd one, what's her name? Tiffany? She looked like "OMG where am I?" lmfaooo
At a sermon preached to the dumpster fire insurrectionist rapist felon Donald Trump.
@npr.org you really should do better with accurately calling the felon by his full name.
It didn't take long for God's Chosen Leader to aim his vitriol at one who merely suggests he behave as their messiah taught. The Bishop forgot that his loyal admirers have made clear that, for them, Jesus is simply too "woke."
And the disgusting Trumpenfuhrer went on his media platform and whine and cried like a stuck petulant child about it. He’s less a Christian than Hitler was, and has the decorum and respectfulness of a street thug.
The reaction from the right is off the charts. Calling for her dismissal, that it was disgusting and hateful. I guess they don't like Jesus' teachings.
Good for Bishop Buddy! Now I am waiting for DJT to take away the “National Cathedral” title and give it to some right wing fundamentalist church that wouldn’t recognize Jesus if he sat in the front pew.
He's not a Christian. If he is and MAGA are Christian, why in the sweet hell would anyone want anything to do with that religion?
Btw, MAGA hate you bringing up Jesus Christ and how they spit in his face constantly with bigotry. Try it!
This woman has God on her side and she knows it! For the orange dumbass to reply “.. and she owes an apology to the public” as if he is the public, shame on him. Instead of listening to her words of love and acceptance, he turns it in hate. America is COOKED 🤦🏾♂️
And now Bishop Mariann Budde will be targeted by the trump administration. In his first week trump pardoned convicted domestic terrorists, including every single one who assaulted police officers, and he very publicly trashed a Bishop. So much for MAGA caring about “law & order” and “back the blue”.
Trump manipulates the press around everything he does. He is calculated. Was this some kind of setup for him to underscore that he is actually Satan? Like, is he using this experience to mock God?

I don't know if there's enough anti-anxiety medication for the next 4 years.

Shit pro-fascist framing from NPR
I applaud her bravery, but she was asking for mercy from the merciless.
She absolutely was not hostile.
MAGA: "I CAN'T BELIEEB TH DISRESPEK"

Freedom of speech isn’t getting to spew vile hatred at minorities ffs
That bishop's words and delivery and sentiment were absolutely beautiful. It's sickening to see him speak of it this way.
I’m proud to be an Episcopalian today, when one of our bishops refused to pander. Her voice a clear bell of truth to afflict the comfortable.
Bishop Mariann Budde, Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
You shall not take the Lord's name in vain
She stood before the rising tide,
Where many turned their hearts aside.
“Will no one speak?” the Bishop cried,
For truth and love must not subside.
they would have graciously nodded along and been invigorated by it since they were actually true Christians.

GOLD😂
But hey, he’ll bring egg prices down.

There. Is. No. Mandate.
His lawlessness cannot be met with passivity and hope.
He must be confronted.

She ENCOURAGED, she BESEECHED, she IMPLORED, she PRAYED, she CARED, and she ADVOCATED for vulnerable individuals.
Which one?
Trump?
Btw, MAGA hate you bringing up Jesus Christ and how they spit in his face constantly with bigotry. Try it!
This is shameful. NPR needs to do so much better.
