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.

        If you think those deaths weren’t on purpose, you’ve got entirely the wrong idea.

        Their deaths were still intentional even if they were not executed. The Nazis sought to exterminate the races preventing the Aryan ubermensch from being created.
