Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde said on Wednesday that she had not politicized her remarks during the inaugural prayer service one day prior, instead claiming that everyone else had politicized what she said.

Budde, who used the prayer service and her position at the pulpit to effectively scold President Donald Trump and other Republicans for failing to embrace and “show mercy” to transgender-identifying people and illegal aliens, appeared on ABC’s “The View” to defend her remarks.

Ana Navarro, after lavishing praise on the “very demure and very mindful” bishop, asked Budde whether she believed her message — which she claimed was about “unity” — had gotten through to any of the members of the incoming Trump administration.

Prayers are addressed to Our Lord and Savior, not to the members of the congregation.

I said in another post she must be a DEI pick so the Episcopalian church could virtue signal.  This proves it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
