Reverend Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington D.C., went on a political jag during Tuesday morning’s inaugural prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral.
Budde directly spoke to President Donald Trump, mentioning the fact that he recently said he believes he was “saved by God to Make America Great Again,” and urging him to have mercy on gay and transgender American children in addition to illegal immigrants.

“Millions have put their trust in you. As you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential 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 now,” Budde said in her sermon. “There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in both Democratic, Republican and independent families who fear for their lives.”
Continuing, Budde referred to illegal immigrants as, “The people who pick our crops, and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work night shifts in hospitals.”
“They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals,” she added. “They pay taxes, and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches, mosques and synagogues, gurdwara, and temples.”
The “bishopess” appears to be conflating illegal aliens with legal immigrants, and assumes they’re only in America to serve as a cheap labor class working unwanted jobs.
Watch Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and the Second Lady Usha Vance as they listened to the message.
Outside the church, Trump said the sermon was “not too exciting.”
