Rightwingers tell bishop to die because she begged Donald Trump to have mercy on trans kids

A public call for mercy from an Episcopal bishop to the President of the United States has ignited a firestorm of outrage among Donald Trump supporters.

On Tuesday, Episcopal Bishop of Washington, D.C., Mariann Edgar Budde spoke directly to Trump in a national prayer service following his inauguration on Monday, saying, In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now, including undocumented immigrants and LGBTQ+ children.

The prayer sent Trump and his allies off the deep end.

The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater, the president posted to his Truth Social platform late Tuesday night. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people. Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions. It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA.

Trumps allies on the right took his cue and piled on with open contempt for the Episcopal priest in menacing posts and commentary.

Appearing on The Rachel Maddow Show, Budde said shed received hate messages verging on death threats from Trumps MAGA supporters. Ive had people wish me dead, she said during the interview. Im not sure theyve threatened to kill me, but they seemed to be pleased if I met my eternal destiny sooner rather than later.

The Daily Wires Matt Walsh said that hell exists for people like Mariann and called her exhibit A for why women should not be pastors, priests, or bishops, displaying his usual, open misogyny in a catalog of abusive responses compiled by Media Matters.

She would rather engage in emotional blackmail and blasphemy than preach the word of God, Walsh said. Trans kids, he added mocking her call for compassion fear for their lives because theyve been exploited and brainwashed by wicked witches like Mariann.

On The Charlie Kirk Show, priest and conservative commentator Calvin Robinson went further, claiming that Budde was breaking the Church law, by being at the pulpit in the first place, and accused her of lecturing Trump on her leftist, radicalist, extremist politics, which just goes to show the mess the Church is in at the moment.

A woman should be silent in church,' Robinson said, twisting Scripture to attack the Episcopal priest.

Walshs colleague at The Wire, Michael Knowles, stooped equally low, calling Budde a fake priestess lady and her sermon heretical.

It is no wonder that a woman who would mistake herself for a bishop might also confuse a foreign national for an American citizen, or even a little boy for a little girl.

Fox host Jesse Watters called Budde the new face of the resistance: woke bishops and insufferable blue hairs, while right-wing podcaster Steven Crowder termed Buddes sermon satanic.

Trumps favorite evangelical, Franklin Graham, who led a prayer at Trumps swearing-in ceremony, called Budde a socialist with an activist LGBTQ+ agenda.

Trump is not purposely out there lying, misleading people, but this lady is, shes misleading people, and she was wrong, Graham said.

Loathsome White nationalist podcaster Stew Peters summed up the MAGA pile-on in a post to Telegram, asking, Why does the Episcopal Church allow bull-d*kes as bishops?

Maddow told Budde her sermon was the illustrated dictionary definition of what it means to speak truth to power.

I'm starting to think that Republicans are kinda pieces of shit, you know?

When you say that " Mercy is a sin" can we just admit that the GOP is the satanic party now?

They always were. Trump is the antichrist and MAGAts are demon followers.

I'd sure like to see a preacher tell Trump and senior Republicans, to their faces, that they are going to go to Hell for their evildoing, in the style of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.

All of these people will be told the same thing if their hearts are what they are now when their time comes.

"I do not know you."

If you think attacking a pastor, sending her death threats, bearing false witness against her simply because she has the courage other people in power lack is in any way something God would teach....

You better be on your knees begging for the forgiveness and mercy that you just insulted.

They can threaten her body, but their souls will be the kindling in the end.

Someone has submitted a Resolution for the House of Reps to vote on that would condemn the message in Budde's prayer.

Just wtf

It's so fucking nuts that the asshole sells Bibles and they all get mad when it's quoted back to him.

Walsh is a fucking ghoul.

You're being really unfair to ghouls here

Inquiring minds want to know when the comparisons of Republicans to Nazis will become unfair insults to Nazis.

Stop yourself.

Let's pretend modern Christian mythology is real for a second. The Antichrist would fool most of the world, not just American hayseeds.
