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.

• Donald Trump says 'I am your law and order president,' orders 'heavily-armed soldiers' to D.C. and threatens to deploy military nationwide - then has protesters tear-gassed outside White House so he can walk to a fire-damaged church and brandish a Bible

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde... stopped reading right there.

[Trillian]

Says homosexual infiltrating the church to destroy it.

[TianaHighrider]

And that is just one more example of why so many people left these Godless churches.

Leaving a Godless church is not leaving God. It is only leaving a vile club.

Blow it out your lesbian a—, Mariann!

[Meatspace]

He is the President of the United States.

He can address the nation from anywhere he pleases.

“I just can’t believe what my eyes have seen tonight.”

What did she have to say about her church being set on fire by anarchists?

[Mad Dawg]

Oh.
An Episcopal bishop is outraged.

Whatever shall we do?

[ConservativeInPA]

Things like this are the reasons I am no longer an Episcopalian.

[Lurker]

“that her church was used for political gain.”

It’s not your Church.

More like “it.”

Just missing the vampire fangs. Find Jesus Bishop. Chess move.

[The Great RJ]

Let the protesters burn the church as expiation for the sins of white privilege. It worked so well in Minneapolis where the mayor gave the rioters a police station in tribute.

[TianaHighrider]

Awesome fighting back the antifa terrorists.

What is that?

[timestax]

Most likely a CIA plant.

NO DOUBT .

[lastchance]

Well the President kind of deserves the criticism for appearing with Christianity’s Holy Bible in front of a pagan institution.

The liberal media mouthpieces sure got this talking point out fast, I saw the exact same story with the words “teargas” and “prop” turn up on about 20 different news stories within an hour of the event.
