Trump demands apology by bishop who asked him to ‘have mercy’

The Episcopal bishop of Washington gave a sermon at the inaugural prayer service focused on national unity and made a direct plea to President Donald Trump.

Was actually surprised Trump did not walk out

Let's just do what's right, Incuding immigratuon, and homelessness, but do what's right, for EVERYONE. Including law and order for EVERY CITIZEN.

If there is a God…..we really need him now!

World still remains a beautiful place to live in because there are still men of heart with sense of justice and compassion. This Bishop is star shining and twinkling from sky overcast with scary dark clouds.
I congratulate her with my heart and soul for the courage and agility with which she expressed her love of humanity.

The only person who could be offended or embarrassed by a call for mercy and compassion, is the one who doesn't have either of those things.

She needs to read about Sodom and Gomorrah

I am a Trump supporter, but I didn't see what she said as bad...BUT I have not heard the entire sermon, only small parts. As many of us conservatives have been saying, it's important to hear opposing views on issues. Free speech works both ways, and learning to listen to each other is a skill many of us need to work on.

Thank you News Center for correcting Trump's misrepresentation of crime statistics in Texas!

Fr. Joseph Iannuzzi: "When Eve committed Original Sin first nothing happens but when Adam committed Original Sin after Eve then God intervened & expelled them both from Eden. It is for this reason that ONLY MEN CAN BE ORDAINED MINISTERS, ORDAINED PRIESTS.”

That bishop did exactly what she is meant to do which is teach people to be true Christians. Trump is just a little man child who can't handle criticism or empathy apparently.

This "bishop" is an activist, not a bishop

[dougqualitywallcovering]

Be advised that YouTube is scrubbing comments against the Bishop!

[sallycrawford]

No apology is needed. She exercised freedom of speech like anyone else. He has an immense platform to share his thoughts given free speech. It serms like an eqitable.exchange between both parties. That's the privilege of a democracy.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful toward the powerless, then you have deeply misunderstood the teachings of Christ.

Brilliant woman!! A message of mercy. How fitting.

[arnoeeuwigheid]

May God have MERCY on this HERETIC "bishop"!!!!

[maryewer]

Mr president give your money to another church, this bishop was wrong to disrespect you, so sad for that church

[pacnwguy]

He has now labeled her "ungracious", which is rich with irony considering the source. I hope she refuses to apologize, as he would. Free speech, right?
