Mariann Budde, the anti-Trump Episcopal bishop of Washington, DC, who the Washington Post once described as “unapologetically liberal,” used her platform at the National Prayer Service to call on Trump to have “mercy” on LGBTQ children, some of whom she said “fear for their lives.”
Budde made her plea to Trump in a lengthy address at the Washington National Cathedral.
“In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives,” she said.
Budde then went on to ask for mercy for illegal immigrants, claiming the “vast majority of them are not criminals.”
