The “woke” leftist Episcopalian bishop who used her pulpit earlier this week to lecture President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance about their immigration and LGBTQ policies is now embroiled in a new scandal of her own making.
During her sermon at the Washington National Cathedral with Trump and Vance and their families in attendance, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde implored both leaders to “have mercy” on various liberal Democratic causes like illegal migrants and biological males competing in female sporting events.
At various points during the sermon — which felt more like a lecture — Trump and Vance both appeared visibly unimpressed and displayed as much with various looks and expressions.
