The Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde made an appeal to Trump during a post-Inauguration prayer service he attended, asking him to show mercy to members of the LGBTQ+ community and migrants who are in the country illegally.

“The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the world of politics in a very ungracious way,” he wrote. Trump argued that the Rev. Budde should have reflected on acts of violence linked to migrant families.
