“We so dissociate ourselves from the messages of this president,” Mariann Budde told the Washington Post
Trump said he was visiting St. John’s to “pay respects to a special place,” but Budde wasn’t buying it. “Everything he has said and done is to inflame violence,” she told the. “I am beyond. We need moral leadership, and he’s done everything to divide us, and has just used one of the most sacred symbols of the Judeo-Christian tradition.”
Budde also went on CNN to express her disgust to Anderson Cooper. “I just can’t believe what my eyes have seen,” she said. “What I am here to talk about is the abuse of sacred symbols for the people of faith in this country to justify language, rhetoric, and an approach to this crisis that is antithetical to everything we stand for, everything that this faith stands for.”
