The Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington explained on The View why she lectured President Donald Trump about immigrants and LGBT people during a sermon at a post-Inauguration Day service at the National Cathedral.
“Knowing that a lot of people, as I said, in our country right now are really scared, I wanted to take the opportunity in the context of that of service for unity, to say we need to treat everyone with dignity, and we need to be merciful. I was trying to counter the narrative that is so, so divisive and polarizing and in which people, real people, are being harmed,” Budde told the ABC show in a Wednesday interview.
