Mariann Edgar Budde is the first woman to head the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. This isn't the first time she has been critical of President Donald Trump.
At a sermon preached to President Trump at Washington National Cathedral, Bishop Mariann Budde asked him to "have mercy" on people who are "scared," including LGBTQ+ children.
The president has reacted after bishop Mariann Edgar Budde pleaded with him to "have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now" during an interfaith prayer service.
