Olivia George, The Washington Post; What happens after you ask Trump to ‘have mercy’? Threats, praise and hope.
"Last month, Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-Oklahoma) introduced a resolution calling for the House to recognize Budde’s sermon as a “display of political activism and condemning its distorted message.”
Budde, according to the resolution, promoted “political bias instead of advocating the full counsel of biblical teaching.”
On Sunday, after the service, she pondered the lawmaker’s action.
“It isn’t political activism for a pastor to ask for mercy,” she said. “It is an expression of Christian faith and the teachings of Jesus.”"
