‘I Am Outraged’: D.C. Episcopal Bishop Decries Trump Clearing Protestors With Tear Gas to Use Church as a ‘Prop’

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde expressed her outrage toward President Donald Trump after Trump used her Washington D.C. St. John’s Episcopal Church for a photo op following his address to the nation, telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper, “I just can’t believe what my eyes have seen tonight.” Budde and other members of the church didn’t know Trump would visit their church until they saw it on the news, they said. Budde ripped Trump for his “abused of sacred symbols” and was “outraged” that her church was used for political gain.

I swear all these hardcore lefties have that same crazed look!

Something is not quite right with the good reverend. I am glad I did not grow up in such confusing times, although my childhood was not ideal.

Trump could send some folks over tonight to burn down the church and finish the job, since she’s outraged he wants to protect it.

Several of the early churches in D.C. actually met in the Capitol itself. Kind of gives the lie to “wall of separation between church and state.”

This is probably the closest a Bible has gotten to an Episcopal Church in the last 30 or 40 years.

“Dimwit lefty preacher”

There are so many. I can barely sit through a service anymore. I just want some spiritual words and optimism and calm. Not happening!

I get leftist gibberish and political hyperbole.

My wife’s family church.

ELCA - Nuff said.

You know why Episcopalians make lousy chess players?

Can’t tell the difference between the bishop and queen.

The lib Lutheran and the lib Presbyterians are twompeas in a pod. Some of them here too. Also the UMC and their flying the gay flag.

[GSWarrior]

My takeaway was that Trump is telling the world that in America you can practice the religion of your choice.

Here's another candid shot of that famous, brilliant, Pisscanputridone Bishop Buttly…

Groan

[hinckley buzzard]

She’s a bishopess. Its her “diocese” but not her church. The pastor is a Rev Fischer. He was quite appreciative of President Trump btw, which is why he will not be quoted on CNN.

[hinckley buzzard]

She is married and has two kids. Not much of a lesbian. She still is an a—hole though, if that helps.

[a fool in paradise]

By what authority does she lead a congregation?

And has she seen any contrast between local governments closing churches to the public but permitting leftists to vandalize church is untouched?

[a fool in paradise]

It looks like Wally Cox

[The Duke]

If she’s the preacher then maybe the church needed burning.

[snarkytart]

Oh well, you’ll get over it.

THIS is why the media are frauds. They don't talk the the actual Rev OF the church but someone else. Don't you think POTUS talked to the Rev before he did this? OF COURSE he got permission to go there with the media in tow.

[ZagFan]

Amen. Thanks for saying what most sane people are thinking too.

"Budde ripped Trump for his 'abused of sacred symbols' and was “outraged” that her church was used for political gain."

Obvious hypocrite!
