@msnbc: On @The Rachel Maddow Show Rev. Mariann Budde defended a plea for mercy she made to President Donald Trump on behalf of immigrants and others during an inaugural prayer service the day before. “I wanted to make, as you heard, a plea, a request that he broaden his characterization of the people that are frightened now and are at risk of losing everything, and I thought that that would be the more respectful way to say it," Budde said. #trump #washington #politics #lgbtq #immigrant
