Quote:Bishop Who Called on Trump to Show Mercy Now Facing Death Threats
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde says she’s been receiving what seem to be death threats after she called on President Trump to “have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now” during an inaugural prayer service at the National Cathedral.
“I’ve had people wish me dead. I’m not sure they’ve directly threatened to kill me, but they sure seem pleased if I meet my end sooner rather than later,” the Episcopal bishop told MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show on Wednesday.
She explained that her intention was to foster a more respectful conversation, saying, “I was actually trying to encourage a different kind of conversation. You can disagree with me, you can disagree with what I’ve said or done, but could we, as Americans and fellow children of God, speak to one another with respect? I would offer the same to you.”
Despite the backlash over her call for Trump to show mercy to migrants and LGBTQ children, Budde has refused to apologize to Trump or to other Republican critics who felt her comments were inappropriate.
“The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
