It has come to light that the son of the woke liberal Episcopal Washington Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde has deep roots in Democrat politics.
Bishop Budde, during an inaugural prayer service at Washington National Cathedral, used her time speaking at the National Cathedral to use her faith to attack the president.
“Let me make one final plea, Mr. President,” Budde began. “As you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.”
“In the name of a loving God, to have mercy on the people in our country who are scared now, she stated. “There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families, some who fear for their lives.”
“And the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings…They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation,” she added.
“The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors…May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away,” she concluded.
Amos Budde, one of two sons of Mariann Edgar Budde and her husband Paul Budde, once worked as a battleground states elections analyst for Barack Obama’s campaign. This revelation was reported by investigative journalist Paul Sperry of RealClearInvestigations.
“Amos Budde, the son of Rev. Mariann Budde from whom Trump’s demanding apology for her “nasty” remarks @ prayer service, worked for OBAMA FOR AMERICA as a battleground states elections analyst; also worked for Intern’l Criminal Court in The Hague, where JACK SMITH worked,” Paul Sperry wrote.

As a battleground state elections analyst for “Obama for America,” he was responsible for designing tools that forecasted election outcomes, dictated the locations of campaign rallies, and managed volunteer time and resources.
“Obama for America” (OFA) was the official campaign arm that propelled Obama to victory in both 2008 and 2012.
Following the 2012 election, the organization transformed into “Organizing for Action,” a nonprofit focused on pushing Obama’s policy agenda.
Beyond his political operations for Obama, Amos Budde later secured a prestigious Technology Fellowship with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands, in 2015 — an institution that just so happens to have employed none other than Special Counsel Jack Smith (2008-2010), the very man spearheading legal attacks against President Trump.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Bishop Mariann Budde has been found to have pocketed a staggering $53 million in taxpayer funds through her organization, Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM).
The Episcopal Migration Ministry (EMM), the federal contracting arm of her church, has been profiting immensely from taxpayer-funded government programs aimed at resettling migrants.
In 2023 alone, EMM raked in $53 million to resettle 3,600 individuals, according to the New York Post.
The news outlet added that in 2024, EMM “sponsored” 6,400 individuals from 48 countries, including Afghans under a special humanitarian program and refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
These new arrivals are immediately eligible for all forms of welfare, such as Medicaid and cash assistance, on the same basis as U.S. citizens. Further, they can sponsor friends and relatives under a recent Biden expansion of the refugee resettlement program.
