Trump slams sermon asking him to show 'mercy' toward LGBTQ people, immigrants

  • Following a traditional inaugural prayer service at Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday, during which an Episcopal bishop called on President Donald Trump to show "mercy" toward LGBTQ people and immigrants, he told reporters the sermon "wasn't too exciting" and added he "didn't think it was a good service."

In a recent speech, former President Donald Trump criticized a sermon delivered by Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II at the National Cathedral, which called for showing mercy towards marginalized groups such as the LGBTQ community, immigrants, and the poor. Trump, speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority conference, accused the sermon of promoting "woke" ideology and claimed it was an example of the left's attempt to infiltrate and influence religious institutions. He argued that such messages are divisive and contrary to traditional Christian values, urging his supporters to resist what he described as an attack on their faith. Trump's comments reflect his ongoing strategy to mobilize conservative Christian voters by framing progressive religious expressions as threats to their beliefs.
