(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In yet another showdown, former President Donald Trump called for a public apology from Right Rev. Mariann Budde after her sermon at the National Prayer Service, calling her a “radical left hard line Trump hater.”

Budde’s call for compassion towards immigrants and LGBTQ+ individuals seemingly took aim at Trump’s policies, prompting his expressed disdain.

His critics argue such sermons are essential for societal healing, but Trump sees them as a needless political confrontation.

During the sermon at Washington National Cathedral, Bishop Budde pleaded for mercy towards immigrants and gay and transgender children, reflecting a message of compassion and inclusivity.

The call resonated with many, but Trump interpreted it as a veiled critique of his policies.

Trump’s immediate response illustrated his frustration, referring to Budde as a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater” and accusing her of dragging politics into the sacred space of the church.

Bishop Budde addressed various social issues in her sermon, aiming to promote understanding and social harmony.

She emphasized the fears faced by gay, lesbian, and transgender youth and argued that most immigrants are not criminals, Politico reports.

Her remarks, though intended to highlight compassion, instead triggered a wave of criticism from Trump, who found the service “boring and uninspiring.”

Budde’s stance at the National Prayer Service did not come as a surprise to those familiar with her previous interactions with Trump.

She had expressed outrage in 2020 over his use of the Bible during protests, showcasing her willingness to confront what she views as injustices.

Trump, who was present at the service alongside Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson, was quick to express dissatisfaction with the sermon.

“In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy on the people in our country who are scared now,” Budde said, cited by PBS.

The service, hosted by the Washington National Cathedral since 1933, aimed to foster national unity, a theme Budde focused on fervently.

However, the exclusion of conservative evangelicals from speaker roles did not go unnoticed, particularly by Trump’s supporters who view them as critical allies.

The absence spoke volumes about the conflicting ideologies that continue to shape national discourse.

While Budde’s sermon sought unity across diverse and sometimes divided communities, Trump’s reaction highlighted ongoing tensions.

For many, Budde’s words served as a call to individuals to consider paths to inclusivity, while for others, her sermon represented another challenge to conservative values.

“She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart,” Trump stated.
