Rev. Mariann Budde said she refuses to apologize to President Donald Trump for her recent remarks, and she issued a new plea to Americans to “speak to one another with respect.”
The Episcopal Bishop of Washington said she has been facing a wave of hate for her sermon during Tuesday’s inaugural prayer service at Washington National Cathedral, where Trump sat stone-faced in the front row, listening to the remarks directed at him.
“I’ve had people wish me dead,” the 65-year-old bishop told MSNBC‘s Rachel Maddow about the criticism she faced.
