Bishop tells Trump to "have mercy" for LGBTQ+ community, migrants

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday the "so-called Bishop" of the Washington National Cathedral owed an apology after she urged him to protect immigrants and respect gay rights.

Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde issued a plea to Trump during a prayer service on Tuesday, asking him to “have mercy” on the LGBTQ+ community and undocumented migrants.

“Without unity, we’re building our nation’s house on sand,” she said. “In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy on the people in our country who are scared now.”

After the service, Trump told the press he found it “Not too exciting... I didn’t think it was a good service. No…They can do much better.”
