Trump is a weak, petty, narcissistic sociopathic bully. That he called her “nasty” speaks loudly. That his wife & her new younger buddy JD Vance laughed throughout also speaks loudly. These people are vile. This is what 31.78% of Americans voted for—the rest of those who voted are embarrassed by it.
Trump viewed the Bishop's courage as disrespectful and a threat. He expects full adoration and fealty. Heaven forbid anyone question or critique him. Her message was important, timely, and appropriate.
she is a woman of God and God led her to speak to him! So if people who are so called "religious" follow the word they would not say anything. That is how you know trump and his followers are not of God!!
"One nation under God" doesn't change or lose meaning every time the values of the administration changes. It's a statement of the respect this country must have for the religious freedoms of the people.
@npr.org asking her why she asked a horrific president for the next four years to have mercy on innocent people that need their government to run for the people by the people?!!!
Why would she? She preached the Gospel compassionately, gently and true to her vows as a bishop of the Episcopal Church. Where’s your exclusive asking for *his* apology?
NPR funding is sure to hit the chopping block soon, as will all public funding of fair and honest news reporting. The arts will take a hit as well. Please support your local public TV and radio stations and arts organizations, and get your local millionaires to do the same.
The Bishop made a point by suggesting this country needs to get back to talking to each other with compassion and respect. She showed such grace and compassion while expressing the feelings of the people who are afraid and lost with all of his evil endeavors for our Country.
There is no need for her to apologize. She preached the teachings of Jesus in a cathedral to sinners with courage and conviction. That is her job. And she is damn good at it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Reminds me of how Dietrich Bonhoeffer got in trouble in Nazi Germany for a sermon entitled "Christ is My Fuhrer." Those who cannot tell the difference between Jesus and Trump have got a serious, and deliberate, comprehension problem.
The Bible teaches us to love foreigners and treat them as if they were our own. It’s obvious that Trump knows little about the Bible and its teachings. The Bishop was giving him a lesson; he should thank her.
Yeah, that´s the problem with platform censorship. You would like to be a police officer in Bluesky, right? This woman is a fundamentalist, like those islamic mullahs. She, not Trump, is talking hatefully. That woman is an evil whitch.
She doesn’t answer to Trump and that threatens him. She answers to Christ and echoed every Jesus stood for. Her words were only vile if Jesus’ words are. She cannot take back her words. They are the faith of the church and to go against conscience of faith is to abandon the Gospel.
She might stay silent about migrants and gays and speak of other things. It was deliberate and provocative. The Gospels are totally obsolete, and she used those like Mao used the Red Book or Lenin used Marxism - in a fundamentalist, biased, evil manner with agenda.
I said THE GOSPELS ARE OBSOLETE. Are you dumb? That was written over a millenium ago by some anonymous source. Modern priests knoAnyway, w they must relativize those. Anyway, Jesus and the Gospels never refer gay people nor illigal imigrants.
I don’t think I’m dumb. I’ve studied those folks my whole life. What “modern priests” are you talking about? Jesus never referring to an issue is irrelevant. The Hebrew Scriptures that Jesus preached from speak to welcome for foreigners over and over. Jesus assumes his followers would obey them.
No one should apologize for following the teachings of Jesus
No one who claims to be a Christian should be offended when they hear the teachings of Jesus
Jesus talked not of gays and lesbians and illegal immigrants. You are quoting a millenium old obsolete writing as a bible to obbey today, under convenient woke interpretation. The same thing islamic fundamentalists do.
And she shouldn’t. She was literally doing her job as a Bishop. If people are mad about the word of God, they can take it up with the God they say they love.
Why should she? Read the Beatitudes. Is that radical leftism? Love thy neighbor? You are your brothers keeper... need I go on. Demanding an apology for someone asking you to be merciful shows what a nasty POS Trump really is.
She spoke of the foundation of Christianity! Which he knows nothing about. If that doesn’t prove he’s a Godless person to his maga sheep or his “Christian” right, I don’t know what will!! 🤬
DAMN IT….dont know what’s better or worse, the beautiful sound of trump getting bitch slapped with truth and kindness or that Budde is shaming me to go back to church, feeling like an agnostic coward….. damn she’s good!
TBH, he was crucified for teaching love and compassion the first time. He wasn't the kind of messiah the people wanted. They wanted a military leader that would come in with swords-a-blazing and destroy the evil Roman empire. His teachings didn't sit well with a lot of people back then, same as now.
Women who stand up to Trump always earn that label: "nasty". That one, sour note is the only one he knows to sing. Wear it as a badge of honor, bishop.
It's almost like you're suggesting that the 🍑 definition of "nasty" is, " scary, hurt his little feelings." (I so wanted to write that as "vewy scawy, hurt my widdle fweelings)
How did we get to the point where a physically small softly spoken woman who follows a God so many people ignore or decry can call out a misguided ruler in a way the rich and powerful we are encouraged worship instead cannot?
One time he couldn't be belligerent/bellicose because she spoke 100% truth which he is unable to handle -- just walk away and say as little as possible; i.e., “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
I hope she doesn’t apologize! She sent a very reasonable message that anyone respectable should have accepted and taken to heart. I know that “respectable” excludes the audience in the first two rows.
Unlikely. Bp. Budde has a strong reputation as a bold leader unlikely to be threatened into silence in the face of evil that goes against the values of Christ.
Notice whenever he's insulting someone, it just sounds like he's talking about himself? The ultimate projector. I am not a religious person but this bishop is a legend 🩷
VERY few people have had the audacity to be brave and honest with Trump, like, in the past 8 years. I think what she did was AMAZING. Imagine standing up for the downtrodden, what a concept in a church. No wonder Trump was being a little bitch about it.
Of course not. She has NOTHING to apologize for. ToddlerTrump thinks he's some kind of king who should never be questioned by his "servants". Who's gonna tell him -- he works for US?
Let me get this straight - the Bishop asked the president to show love in the name of God, and the MAGA "Christians" are screaming to deport her for it.
You can no longer contact the White House via the website, guess he got too much hate mail last time for being one of the biggest PoS’ around, but he can’t even be the best PoS cause he teamed up with a NotSee 😅🥲
I need Trump to publicly call Jesus a radical leftist with a liberal agenda just once so I know he's capable of telling the truth, even if it's inadvertently.
Good for her, she said nothing inappropriate yet Drumpf was so pissed off he is demanding an apology & made his own subdued threat to her & the Church. This is how a would-be-Dictator acts.
WTH should she. She did what she’s supposed to do. The difference is she actually embodies what Christ would do and waaaay too many pastors have chosen to follow the anti-Christ.
If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ
How very brave she was to speak her mind and her religion in this way. I really admire her standing up to the right wing nationalist. She represented the Christianity that Christ would want.
I was so impressed how softly spoken she was and so straight forward. In a world where people just yell and speak in circles, she was a grounding comfort to listen to.
She exposed Trump for the cruel bully he is. Asking for mercy from a narcissist will enrage them (it did) into showing their true colors. Some Christians will begin to see.
AND protection!!!! She literally pissed off the most armed gang in US history.
I hope someone steps up to help her AND someone reports every nasty orange terrorist!
What really sucks. The victim rarely if ever gets to report all of the crimes! Most of the nasty calls that are truly crimes will be lost to the moments of fear
She has no need to apologize. She spoke softly and tried to appeal to his empathy. He just doesn’t have any. Well, except for his fellow insurrectionists of course…
She did nothing wrong so no apology is necessary. If trump wanted a political sermon he should have chosen a right wing evangelical one. Probably couldn’t find one in DC tho.
Henry exploded and is said to have uttered the words: 'Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?' Even the barons were uncomfortable with this decision, which was followed up with charges of embezzlement, and Becket was summoned to Northampton to answer for his crimes.
The way "Christians" have responded to Bishop Budde's sermon is shocking. She asked for mercy and compassion, which was a large part of Jesus' ministry. They have lost their way.
Her attitude is what had me become an Episcopalian thirty years ago. Christians and the silliness of the faith made me atheist 25 years ago. Episcopalian leadership treated my lesbian priest like garbage and eating god meat is silly.
And you shouldn’t apologize. You’ve done or said nothing wrong. To be Christian is to be Christ like. Compassion is something the world needs more of, not less.
Two sets of people have access to a podium and can speak for as long as they wish. Clergy and politicians.
She used her pulpit and podium for GOOD.
And I am grateful to her for it.
Nothing to apologize for-she spoke as Jesus Christ would have if he was on the pulpit-what is shocking (not shocking really) was Trump’s reaction to her sermon-he was visibly uncomfortable, agitated and indignant towards her message.
Aww, the big orange cry baby had his feeling hurt? I have always heard that when you get that old, by that old, I mean really, really old, your skin gets really thin. That level of spray tanning also can't be great.
Comments
Even without a name or picture we could guess which gender he was applying those labels to
She’s truly coming from a place of love.
It’s his reaction that was the most telling part of this. So offended that someone would would appeal to him for kindness and decency!
Organize. Destroy.
No one who claims to be a Christian should be offended when they hear the teachings of Jesus
NPR news reporters can't see Nazis at CPAC. How can they be trusted to treat a national hero with the respect she deserves?

Not because she called him out but because of all the love and support the Bishop received.
He is such a Baby !
If you aren't, then you shouldn't be calling yourself Christ-ian
Not her fault his "Christian" supporters are fake.
Matthew 25:41-46
Man, I'm not even Christian and I know that.

There’s no place in this world for Nazis
