Satire and Scrutiny: Politics in the Spotlight

After a bishop at the National Cathedral prayer service for the inauguration on Tuesday implored Donald Trump to “have mercy upon” immigrants and LGBTQ+ people, many have spoken out about the remarks – including Trump himself.

In a lengthy social media post early on Wednesday, Trump called the Right Rev Mariann Edgar Budde a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater” adding that “she brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way” and criticized her tone as “nasty”.

Later on in the statement, Trump described the service as “boring” and “uninspiring” and said that Budde and her church “owe the public an apology!”

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Budde’s sermon will serve to bring the nation together or merely further divide us.

Plus segments on Elon Musk’s recent “awkward gesture,” Joe Biden welcoming the “next Hitler” to the White House and NYC Mayor Eric Adams telling Tucker Carlson he’s leaving the Democratic Party.
