Bishop Mariann Budde says Trump politicized her 'have mercy' speech: 'I was just trying to...'

​Reacting to the controversy, the bishop said her message was politicized but it was kind of a given that her message would be politicized, she said. "I think if you read what I said, I mean how could it not be politicized, right? We are in a hyper-political climate. ​One of the things I caution about is the culture of contempt in which we live that immediately rushes to the worst possible interpretations of what people are saying and to put them in categories. That's part of the air we breathe now," the bishop said.
