Bishop
Mariann Edgar Budde, who called on President Donald Trump to "have
mercy" for immigrants and LGBTQ children during a prayer service following
the inauguration, told ABC’s
"The
View" on
Wednesday that she would gladly sit down to talk with Trump about her sermon.
Budde,
during the service on Tuesday attended by Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice
President J.D. Vance, and Second Lady Usha Vance asked Trump directly to
"have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now."
She
went on to say that the vast majority of immigrants, even those who lack legal
status to reside in the U.S., are "not criminals" and added,
"There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican
and independent families, some who fear for their lives."
On
Wednesday, Budde told "The View" that she "wanted to emphasize
respecting the honor and dignity of every human being, basic honesty and
humility" in her sermon.
"And
then I also realized that unity requires a certain degree of mercy — mercy, and
compassion and understanding," she added.
Budde
said that she thought it was her responsibility to use her position "to
pray with the nation for unity."
She
added, "So, knowing that a lot of people, as I said, in our country right
now are really scared, I wanted to take the opportunity in the context of that
service for unity to say we need to treat everyone with dignity, and we need to
be merciful."
Budde
said, "I was trying to counter the narrative that is so divisive and
polarizing and in which people, real people, are being harmed."
Trump
criticized Budde following the sermon, which he called "nasty in
tone," saying that she "is bad at her job" and that she and her
church, the Episcopal Diocese of Washington of which she is the spiritual
leader, "owe the public an apology."
