DC Episcopal bishop denounces lack of 'moral leadership' in Trump church visit

The bishop of Washington, D.C.’s Episcopal diocese on Tuesday denounced President Trump for a lack of “moral leadership” after he visited a church that was burned by rioters on Sunday.

Trump’s visit to St. John’s, a historic church across the street from the White House, “did not serve the spiritual aspirations or the needed moral leadership that we need,” Rev. Mariann Budde told NBC. Budde, who administers Episcopal life within the D.C. metropolitan area, added that she was “outraged” that Trump would visit the church but not pray.
