President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for an apology from the Episcopal bishop of Washington after she used a prayer service during his inauguration to make a direct appeal, urging him to show compassion toward the LGBTQ+ community and undocumented migrant workers in the United States.
Referencing Trump’s belief that he was saved by God from assassination, the Right Rev. Mariann Budde said, “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.”
