In what was meant to be a solemn and unifying event, the so-called “bipartisan” prayer service in Washington, D.C. quickly took a turn when Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde seized the moment to deliver a pointedly liberal plea directly aimed at President Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The event, intended as a moment of national reflection, instead became yet another platform for progressive activism.

With cameras rolling, Budde launched into an emotional speech, imploring President Trump to “have mercy” on various progressive causes, including LGBTQ+ youth and illegal immigrants. Trump and Vance, visibly unimpressed, exchanged glances and appeared to roll their eyes as Budde pressed on with her politically charged sermon.

“Let me make one final plea, Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you. And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” Budde pleaded. She then proceeded to highlight concerns for LGBTQ+ children and illegal immigrants.

Budde continued, “The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors.”
