What President Trump Said About Bishop’s Call for Mercy on LGBTQ+ Migrant Workers

The Episcopal Bishop of Washington, Right Reverend Mariann Budde during the inaugural prayer service, delivered a poignant message urging President Donald Trump to extend mercy to the LGBTQ+ community and undocumented migrant workers. Her powerful appeal was made in front of a congregation gathered for the historic event, calling on the president to embrace compassion and understanding toward marginalized groups.

Following the service, President Trump was asked about the sermon and the bishop’s remarks. In a brief interaction with the press, the president remarked that he did not believe the service had been “a good service,” without further elaborating on his stance.

Bishop Budde’s remarks have sparked a range of reactions, with advocates for LGBTQ+ rights and immigrant communities expressing hope that her call would resonate with the president, while others have criticized the president’s response.
