Hey, laaady!

I just loved how the awkwardness was just palpable. I agree with the message but also agree it should be more focused on compassion than mercy. In any event, I think it’s good to remind Trump that it’s possible to be compassionate and still effective.

She is a Democrat activist who supported the George Floyd activities.

Trump and his staff should have known that there would be...comments.

She's been described as "brave" for saying these things.

A comment on X responded, "Bravery is doing something which might have consequences. She faces none."

Well at least President Trump has an excuse not to go back to church.

I don’t even know why he was there in the first place.

VDH was excellent on this. This is a long interview (his regular show), but at 6:00, there's a few minutes of discussion of this woman and her hypocrisies.

The president may not have approved of Mariann Edgar Budde’s homily at the National Cathedral. But the bishop answered to a higher moral calling.

I love the smell of sanctimony in the morning. But Higher Moral Callings have a strange tendency to be hypocritical, irrational, purely rhetorical appeals to people's guilt, in order to lead them in a direction the manipulative rhetorician would like to lead them. It's cultural programming 101.

[LuFins Dad]

Budde is promoting the genocide of gay autistic kids that have been abused and have deep psychological trauma, and she is answering a higher calling?
