Horrifying Republican response to Bishop's sermon

These are tweets from Matt Walsh on X about Bishop Marian Budde and her sermon earlier today in Washington, attacking her womanhood and ability in a sexist and ageist tirade. It seems the clarion call has gone out to the rest of the Trump X minions, as they are all tweeting the same sentiments - including Kellie-Jay Keen and Donald Trump Jnr. Rep. Mike Collins całłed for her deportation, although she is American. Do you still support Trump after this?

“A liberal woman over the age of 50 with a lesbian haircut is guaranteed to support the most evil ideas and policies that mankind has ever conceived.”

“Just take one look at this witch and you know everything you need to know about her, even before she starts talking.”

“Of course this grotesque display is coming from a female “priest.” You will only ever hear heresy and inanity from someone whose whole existence is blasphemous.”

And another tweet from Bo Loudon: “🚨BREAKING: A bishop at the National Cathedrol just urged President Trump to protect transgender children and not deport illegal aliens because "they're not criminals."

Pure class from President Trump as he sat through this despicable politicization of the prayer service.”

Speech text:
““In the Name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” Budde stated. “There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families. Some who fear for their lives.

”The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens, or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.”

Budde asked Trump “to have mercy” on people “in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away and that you help those who are fleeing warzones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here.

“Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land,” she continued. “May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love, and walk humbly with each other and our God.”

Earlier in her message, Budde stressed the importance of unity, of respectfully disagreeing with one another, but also expressed concern over what she called “the culture of contempt” and feared “the loss of equality” for some who lose in political debates.

What a horrible, divisive message this is! 🙄 Personally, I think Budde's message is courageous and beautiful, and clearly deeply Christian at its core.

Well for one he has signed a document getting rid of all the diversity laws that guarantee that you can not be discriminated against

This is entirely untrue.

It is true !!

It seems as if it was only just a few short months ago that posters on this board were unable to state biological reality without posts being removed. TW certainly couldn’t be referred to as men.

Now, the most powerful leader of the most powerful country in the world says it loud and clear.

That really is Truth to Power.

It's a big shift.

No it isn't.

He's signed an order to say you cannot discrimaate based on race.

Which was illegal anyway but many universities and governement organisations were doing it under Diversity Equiyy and Inclusion policies .
He's going to pull their funding if they don't stop.

Such an awful racist, <checks notes> recognising the sovereign rights of the Lumbee Tribe...

People aren't all good or all bad. They are people.

I really think they are trolling the Dems now😂😂😂

"Did she ever ask the TQ+ community to show some empathy to women?"

She could have asked black people to show some empathy for racists, who are terrified of becoming the victims of black crime - many to the extent that they've chosen to move away from areas in which they live, to areas with fewer black people in.

WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE RACISTS 😭😭😭

Wow.
You really do hold women in contempt don't you.

lifeturnsonadime · 24/01/2025 15:55

Humour me - do you think transgender people who are frightened of the future under Trump should be treated with mercy and compassion or not?

But what are they frightened of?

If it's the removal of privileges such as those conferred under the Biden's first day EO then no I don't have so much sympathy. If it's the removal of males from the women's prison estate no, I have none.

I do think that transgender people are more vulnerable in the US due to the fact that they are not protected from discrimination in respect of housing and employment rights and so long as they are not trying to remove women's sex based rights they should be able to live their lives peacefully without facing such hardships.

This whole shit show has resulted from actions and inactions from the Democrats. As others have pointed out they totally ignored the impact of this on women and made an argument that somehow giving women sex based protections would have a detrimental impact on reproduction rights. What a load of rubbish. People have short memories. Obama promised to codify Roe v Wade - if he'd made that a first day EO then they wouldn't be able to use that as a stick to beat women with because the Supreme Court couldn't have overturned it.

The Democrats don't have too much political appetite for women's rights when it comes down to it, only in so far as it props the rights of men. Otherwise they would protect women.

It's a fucking disgrace that neither side of the political debate puts women first.

So now we have Trump coming to the rescue. We know he's no feminist but he saw a gap and took it.

The fact that this EO helps women and we say so doesn't make us right wing aligned.

As for the Bishop's sermon, she should not face abuse but she should have had more sense than to flame the fire.

I think a lot of Democratic Party activists have ignored First Nations peoples of the USA (except to leverage their two spirit beliefs).

lifeturnsonadime · 24/01/2025 15:36

Wow.

Exactly. Do these people even hear themselves?

Women who say that sex is real and politically salient, that they would like to retain their OWN (hard fought for, btw) legal rights and protections being compared with racists. It's a disgusting and fact-free comparison to make. But it's yet another manipulative appropriation we've heard often from the woman-hating men's-rights activist TRA crowd (a great many of whom meanwhile are busy sending violent abuse and threats to any woman who opposes them, fails to sufficiently pander or even asks questions about their 'movement'. And oddly, TRAs tend to do this in ways that are remarkably and demonstrably incel-like).

Still, I'd have expected nothing better from the sort of individuals who think placing male rapists in prisons with incarcerated women (which goes against long-established global human rights protocols) is not only fine, but the height of progressiveness and somehow the next frontier in "civil rights". While sending children who don't fit rigid old-fashioned pink and blue sex stereotypes enough for their narrow minded, socially conservative sensibilities down irreversible medical pathways to 'correct' them and calling it 'trans healthcare.'

Don't come on here and act like you have some great knowledge on Democrats , Democrat women and how we think or what we believe in . Your views and opinions are abhorrent.

Bishop Budde has now been applauded world wide and it is wonderful to see her sermon spread . There was no flame to fire . It was pure love .

What's abhorrent about wanting to protect trans women from discrimination in housing and employment?

What's abhorrent about wanting women to have single sex prisons where they can't be sexually assaulted or raped by males who are convicted with previous sex offences?

What's abhorrent about wanting women to have equality in sport by having single sex provision?

What's abhorrent about being disappointed that the Obama failed to encode Roe v Wade so women would not be in the current position wrt abortion which was HIS pre- election promise?

If Democratic women think that my views are abhorrent then god help the left. I mean seriously!

I agree. Contrary to what @TempestTost said, I'm not a regular on threads about DEI because I can't be arsed listening to right whingers bang on about racism and sexism against straight, white men. If I wanted that sort of shite I'd go on an MRA site, not a feminist forum.

Pure love is the easy part.
Applied love is where the trouble really starts, because that's where you come up against the need to recognise and balance conflicting needs and rights.

That's interesting. It suggests other things are of more concern to them than being an "oppressed minority", despite their terrible history. Do you know more about this?

legalimmigrant · 24/01/2025 20:23

Whatever you think of Trump, his ability (or his advisors' ability) to really understand what the vast majority of the population want is pretty amazing.

That advert - 'Harris is for they/them, Trump is for you' was utterly brilliant.

So many people will be breathing a sigh of relief over a return to common sense and reality.

The left tried to suppress, and gaslight and coercively control and impose terrible punishments for being able to recognise the reality of something as basic as biological sex. And Trump saw that and said 'that's batshit' and realised it was an easy way to win, and here we are.

Are you saying it is only white men that are capable of doing all the jobs in the USA? That's pretty sexist and racist. You might need to cancel yourself.

JessaWoo · 24/01/2025 11:29

@NotBadConsidering

I know what you think it means. You think that anyone agreeing with anyone on one thing means you worship the ground they walk on. Despite multiple threads and multiple posts on this thread pointing out the falsity of your belief, you insist upon it anyway. Like I said, it’s very trite.

Well, no, that's not what I think at all. 🙄 Opinions and views are somewhat more nuanced than that, and I'm quite aware that agreement on one thing does not mean agreement with an entire platform.

Yet despite this claim, you haven’t explained what “you support Trump” means in your OP. C’est la vie.

Good morning @izimbra . I have had my coffee and eagerly await your answer to the question:
If you cannot define the word woman than you cannot define woman's rights. So you are fighting for people's rights, not women's rights. Are there no situations in which you feel women need separate provision to men?

Did you not see who was on the podium with Trump ? You have Zuckerberg who wants to bring masculinity back to the workplace ! What rock do you live under ????
