That video has the potential to be iconic for future historians looking back at the cruel joke that is current politics. Their faces say everything.

[nataliecollins]

The number of times Vance looked at his wife for validation/reaction and never got it.

[gregc]

The reaction by Trump & family says EVERYTHING.

[Nightwalker-]

Why is a minister's moral sermon seen as "bad" when politicians use faith as a prop? Isn't faith about guiding us towards a higher moral ground?

[dreamtinder]

One of the most powerful moments (and videos) of our times. The courage it took for her to stand up for love and compassion against the most powerful people in the world was heroic.

[anthonycastro]

She just demonstrated what real Christianity is, and to have the courage to speak truth to power just one day after his inauguration too. This is what Christ does.

[Moskeeto]

What a fucking legend. We need more of these Christians showing love and compassion like Jesus would have.

[davidlawrenz]

Trump calling this service not very good shows his character. He wants adoration, not responsibility.

[jonafoto]

She's a legend for this. The only unfortunate part about this, is that she was appealing to an empty vacancy that their humanity no longer occupied.

[ShyTownFantasy]

The one with enough courage to speak out will never be forgotten.

[Eltroker]

" for we were all once strangers in this land. "

[hmdoppelganger]

Brings a whole new meaning to “sweating like a sinner in church” 😅

[linxUniversityofMinnesot-civc]

Vance desperately searching for validation lmao

[QuiranLycaon]

Thank you Bishop for your words of wisdom, mercy is what is needed most in this world right now, mercy and love <3

[gregkochanowski]

I do not belong to organized religion, but it is spiritual leaders like this that strengthen my soul in a darkening world. The smug reactions of Vance, Melania and the Trumplings is stark in the face of such moral clarity.

[Adam-ruvq]

Many “Christian’s” have no idea what Jesus was like.

[MartheLandsemLilla]

Applause from Norway! Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde made my day. I love the fact that he can't go anywhere while she preaches. He cannot change the channel, leave the place or jump to the next move. He MUST sit and listen until she is done. And the cameras film everything on live TV. It is satisfying.

[bryantclark]

This comment section shows us just how far from Jesus's commandments modern chrisitians have wondered.

[Mamajean]

She’s the only one who has the balls to say what she

[ursomajor]

Oh thank God, at least the top comments on this one are nice. On the guardian they are so so awful. Thank you, Bishop Budde, for being so brave
