SUMMERS: Well, let me ask you this about how President Trump responded after the fact. He was asked immediately after the service what he thought. He told reporters that he did not believe that the service was good.

BUDDE: Right.

SUMMERS: And then he followed up today on Truth Social. He went on to say that you were – and I’m quoting him here – “a radical left hard-line Trump hater.” He and his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, have both said that you should apologize. What do you say to that?

BUDDE: Well, I’m not a Trump hater. First of all, I don’t hate the president, and I pray for him. And I don’t agree with some of his views of the country and the way – the decisions he makes, but I certainly don’t hate him. I don’t think anyone would consider me a – what did you say, a leftist, woke, radical?

SUMMERS: A radical left, hard-line Trump hater, were his words.

BUDDE: Yeah. Yeah, I’m a 65-year-old grandmother, and I am not those things. So I don’t know what to say except you don’t know me, Mr. President. And I don’t think I portrayed myself in that way in the pulpit. I don’t feel there is a need to apologize for a request for mercy. And I don’t feel that there is a need to apologize to speak to the unity of this country that includes people that were not at all referenced in the unity that he spoke of the day before in his inaugural address. So, no, I don’t feel the need to apologize. I regret that I never – you know, I regret that it is – I don’t know. What do I regret? I regret that it was something that has caused the kind of response that it has, in the sense that it actually confirmed the very thing that I was speaking of earlier, which is our tendency to jump to outrage and not speak to one another with respect. But, no, I won’t apologize…

SUMMERS: Yeah.

BUDDE: …For what I said.
