Summary
Donald Trump, who attended the national prayer service following his inauguration, and his allies attacked Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde after her sermon criticized his treatment of marginalized communities.
Trump called her a “Radical Left Trump hater” and criticized her sermon as “boring” and “nasty.”
Fox News and GOP Rep. Mike Collins joined in, with Collins absurdly calling for her deportation.
Critics noted the hypocrisy in Trump’s selective embrace of religion, celebrating faith only when it aligns with his political agenda, and warned of the Streisand Effect amplifying Budde’s message.
Honestly, how dare a religious leader preach mercy? xD
The irony of this whole situation is insane. Republicans get horny for ‘free speech’ but then when someone says something they don’t like, they want them deported. Trump wants to instil religious values in the country, except when those values don’t match up his agenda. What a weird time we live in.
He doesn’t and never did. He doesn’t give a shit about Christianity, he didn’t even touch the Bible at the inauguration. Leaning on the “family Christian values” thing was just a campaign crutch both for him and the rest of the GOP to turn out voters for fascism.
The last time that despot touched a Bible he held it upside down for a publicity shoot in front of a church that had no idea he was doing that.
There are other religions besides Christianity that Trump might be promoting. Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!

It’s almost as if the cornerstone of the GOP is hypocrisy… Almost…
