The Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington led the inaugural prayer service in Washington, DC Tuesday. Trump and Vance were present. Rev. Buddle spoke of the teachings of Jesus. "Let me make one final plea Mr. President ... In the name of our God I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families," said Budde, "some who fear for their lives. And the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking 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 they are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues. May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here." The look on the faces of Trump and Vance says it all. They call themselves "Christians," but their reaction to the actual teachings of Jesus says they don't know Jesus. If you know Jesus, you know his teachings. If you don't, you don't. Trump said he "didn't like the sermon" afterwards and said "they could have done better." The entire video below is great. Rev. Buddle's direct pleas to Trump begin at 6:30. If you'd like to learn more about Jesus and his teachings, read the first four books of the New Testament. That's where he speaks. White House Press Secretary Condemns Bishop’s ‘Egregious’ Sermon At Trump’s Inauguration The press secretary said the Bishop “should apologize to President Trump for the lies that she told.” (The Christian Left) Calling the teachings of Jesus "lies" once again says it all. The White House Press Secretary doesn't say anything Trump doesn't approve.
