Summary
During a National Prayer Service, Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde urged Donald Trump to show mercy to immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community, prompting Trump to criticize her on Truth Social as a “Radical left hard line Trump hater.”
Trump dismissed the service as “boring” and accused Budde of politicizing religion.
Budde, known for her advocacy on justice issues, later explained her appeal aimed to encourage broader compassion.
Despite her message, Trump demanded a public apology, claiming her remarks were ungracious and uninspiring.
Looks like she is from New Jersey originally? I guess being banished to new jersey is biblically accurate if you consider the movie Dogma to be canon.
I thought they were banished to Wisconsin or Minnesota.
Hmmm… I might have been heretical then. Been a while since I’ve seen it, maybe I just subliminally associate Kevin Smith with New Jersey for some reason?
The church was in New Jersey, so that is where they were trying to get to. I happen to have the DVD and watched it within the last year
Ahh, well now I’ll have to download and watch it out of penance.
So this is weird: my ancestor in the US in the early 1600s tried to sell Bronks Farm (now the Bronx) to foreign investors and got his left ear cut off, hanged till nearly dead, then banished to New Jersey. That was apparently a punishment at the time.
