Trump Demands Apology From Witch Who Preached Inaugural Sermon at National Cathedral

Mariann Edgar Budde, an Episcopalian priestess more famous for her woke grandstanding than any actual theological acumen, took to the pulpit at the National Cathedral for what was ostensibly billed as a solemn National Prayer Service. Yet, instead of offering any meaningful prayer or pointing listeners to the gospel, Budde unleashed a thinly veiled political rant, cloaked in religious platitudes but saturated with progressive talking points.

Budde, whose rise to prominence has been built on pandering to the activist class, didn’t even bother to hide her intent. The moment wasn’t about prayer or unity—it was about turning the pulpit of a sacred space into a megaphone for her radical agenda.

With a tone dripping in self-righteousness, Budde preached as Trump sat and suffered through:

“In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives.”

”And the people — the people who pick our crops, and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants, and work the night shifts in hospitals — they may not be citizens, or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes, and are good neighbors.”

Let’s unpack this. Instead of leading the nation in prayer, Budde offered a laundry list of radical left ideological mantras. Her plea for "mercy" was nothing more than a veiled rebuke of Trump’s policy positions that she personally opposes.
