Fox's Gutfeld rips Trump prayer service bishop: 'Who knew Satan wore granny glasses'

Fox News’s Greg Gutfeld on Wednesday went after the spiritual leader of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington following President Trump's prayer service.

“She saw an opportunity to feed her ego, she knew this was gonna happen, and she rushed to the trough," Gutfeld said on Fox News’s “The Five” of the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde. "On the bright side, I have to say, she didn’t call [him] [President Trump] Hitler, which is good. But who knew Satan wore granny glasses and stole his haircut from John Denver?”

On Tuesday, Budde participated in an inauguration National Cathedral prayer service. During the service, Budde called for Trump “to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared.”

“There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives,” she added. “The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking 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.”

The following day, Trump went after Budde on his Truth Social platform, saying Budde “was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater" and demanding an apology.

“Does she have any evidence that children [are] in danger by this new administration, the administration that is trying to rescue missing kids through this border fiasco? You know, she may have a congregation, but she has no class,” Gutfeld said Wednesday.

On Monday, Trump signed an executive order acknowledging only two sexes. The order also instructed the promotion of the concept of gender transition to be halted. The order comes as part of a larger promise on the campaign trail from Trump to purge the U.S of what he has referred to as “transgender insanity," as well as push back against diversity and inclusion initiatives from the Biden administration.

The Hill has reached out to the Episcopal Diocese of Washington for comment.
