National Cathedral’s ‘Radical Left’ bishop defends lecturing Trump about ‘truth’

Published



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.
