Not anything bishop said was objectionable.

Did she attack Trump for all his lies? No

Did she attack Trump for his extramarital affairs? No

She called for mercy...I guess that is the Rubicon for MAGA.

Here is an excerpt from the Bible; not to preach to anyone.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13

Also from Shakespeare (referring to Trump)

MENENIUS
There is no more
mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
--Shakespeare, Coriolanus 5.4.28-29
