Conservative political commentator Mark Steyn called Anglican Bishop Mariann Budde a "tool of Satan" for promoting the idea of "transgender children" from the pulpit of the National Cathedral, The Christian Post reports.

Last week, during his weekly Clubland Q&A broadcast, Steyn opined on the seriousness of Budde’s claims about Democratic, Republican, and Independent families with gay, lesbian, and transgender children who now allegedly fear for their lives.

Steyn suggested that Budde was exhibiting a demonic doctrine. "It isn't actually really funny, because there's no such thing as a transgender kid," Steyn said.

The political analyst stated: "Some may think there is, and a confused 8-year-old boy or 11-year-old girl may think there is. But what it boils down to is you, the bishop, supporting slicing off the breasts of middle school girls. That makes you, the bishop, a tool of Satan. So you should be on a roasting spit in Hell for promoting that."

Steyn acknowledged that cross-dressing and transgenderism have long existed on the fringes of the entertainment industry but described the attempt to normalize such behavior as "evil."

"This woman is evil," Steyn added of Budde. "And I certainly wouldn't want to sit through anything in that bloody awful National Cathedral. I would be in favor if Trump, as an ex-McDonald's employee, decided he needed to turn that into the world's biggest McDonald's."

Steyn, who was baptized as a Catholic before becoming an Anglican and later a Baptist, was a regular guest on former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s show.

"She was advocating for transgenderism. She was advocating for open borders. She was advocating for lawlessness in America. She was advocating for an administration to embrace sexuality that is against God's design," he concluded.

Earlier, the UOJ reported on a Presbyterian pastor’s opinion that Bishop Mariann Budde’s sermon to Trump sowed division.
