The Bishop of Washington has responded to Donald Trump calling her ‘nasty’ and ‘not smart’ after she encouraged him to show mercy to LGBTQ+ people and illegal migrants.

The Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde said she wanted to ‘counter the narrative that is so divisive and polarizing in which people are being harmed’ during an appearance on The View.

Budde added she would welcome the opportunity to speak to Trump one-on-one and has a ‘great amount of respect for his office’.
