It looks like the woke bishop who tried and failed to humiliate President Trump has some explaining to do.

Bishop Marianne Budde made headlines when she went on a gaslighting LGBTQ diatribe at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday.

President Trump and First Lady Melania along with J.D. Vance, wife Usha, and family members were in attendance and graciously stomached the lecture from Budde.

Now it seems, there’s more to the story, according to Townhall columnist and “Minnesota GOP hype man” Dustin Grage.

“This chick was at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Minneapolis for almost two decades,” Grage said on X. “Guess who was in charge of the planning for inauguration? Senator Amy Klobuchar. Yeah, it was a setup.”

You don’t say! But, wait there’s more…

“Oh, look at that – she’s a personal friend of incoming U.S. Congresswoman Kelly Morrison (D),” Grage continued in a follow-up post. “Kelly, of course, is known as one of the chief architects of the nation’s most extreme abortion law, the PRO Act. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde even baptized Morrison’s daughter.”

Of course!

Grage’s allegations sparked plenty of reaction on X:

Kelly Morrison also voted NO twice on the Lanken Riley Act.

No thanks!

Well if AK did this intentionally she sure helped unify the parties- pretty stupid. The fact the bishop was on The View and CNN the next day destroys any argument this wasn’t planned and intended to be political activism.

Did Amy Klobuchar do this? There needs to be an investigation into who scheduled this “sermon” and this WOKE Leftwing activist to proselytize to the POTUS, VP and their families.., Amy Klobuchar was the Chairperson of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies..… pic.twitter.com/IveDKVZxeg

As for Trump, he demanded an apology from the ‘so-called’ bishop.

“The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way,” Trump said on Truth Social.

“She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people,” he continued. “Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions. It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA. Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job! She and the church owe the public an apology!”

Indeed. But, none of us should be holding our breath.
