Washington D.C. – Thursday, Congressman Josh Brecheen introduced a resolution condemning Bishop Budde's political remarks directed at President Trump during the National Prayer Service. This resolution condemns the bishop, who used the pulpit at the National Prayer Service earlier this week to publicly accost President Trump and Vice President Vance in a shocking display of left-wing political activism. 

“Today, I introduced a resolution to fully condemn the distorted message that was preached at President Trump during the National Prayer Service on Monday. I strongly urge my colleagues to act quickly on this resolution to show President Trump that the sermon given is not reflective of the faith community at large,” said Congressman Josh Brecheen.

“The bishop's radical lecture was nothing more than a narcissistic, woke tirade. Instead of embracing this sacred moment to unite us in prayer, she chose to impose her extremist ideology, rendering the National Prayer Service completely inappropriate and, quite frankly, deranged,”  said Congressman Eric Burlison. 

“Bishop Budde’s politicization and weaponization of the pulpit during the National Prayer Service was wholly inappropriate. As a man of faith, I refuse to ignore this blatant political activism and perverse message,” said Congressman Andrew Clyde. 

“This wasn’t a prayer – it was a purposeful, political attack on the President. The American people rejected this kind of underhanded wokeness at the ballot box. Congress should fully condemn Bishop Budde’s actions,” said Congressman Mark Harris.

Co-sponsors include Representatives Rick Allen (R-GA), Brian Babin (R-TX), Jim Baird (R-IN), Stephanie Bice (R-OK), Sheri Biggs (R-SC), Eric Burlison (R-MO), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Morgan Griffith (R-VA), Glenn Grothman (R-WI), Mark Harris (R-NC), Erin Houchin (R-IN), Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Rich McCormick (R-GA), Mary Miller (R-IL), Barry Moore (R-AL), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Andy Ogles (R-TN), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), and Daniel Webster (R-FL).
