Oh, and he is Buttigieg’s protégé and donor to Dem senator Tammy Baldwin.
What a fruitcake.
A Maryland mayor who recently visited the White House for a President Biden bill signing was busted Thursday on dozens of child porn counts, officials said.
Patrick Wojahn, mayor of College Park since 2015, abruptly resigned from his post just hours before he was taken into custody on charges that he possessed and passed around suspected child pornography on social media, police said.
The images and videos were allegedly uploaded in January, with the Prince George’s County Police Department determining the social media account belonged to the 47-year-old Democrat, cops said.
Roughly more than two months before his arrest, Wojahn and his husband were at the White House to celebrate Biden’s signing of the Respect for Marriage Act on the South Lawn, WTOP reported at the time.
A search warrant was executed on his home at the end of February, where multiple cell phones, a storage device, a tablet and computer were seized, police said.
The investigation was jump started after the National Center for Missing and Exploited children notified county police of the suspicious social media account.
Wojahn, a Democrat who served on the city council since 2007, resigned effective immediately Wednesday night after business hours, College Park city officials said in a press release.
When he won his mayoral election in 2015, he was the first openly gay man to earn the seat, NBC Washington reported then.
Wojahn, in his letter of resignation, said he’s “cooperated fully” with law enforcement and vowed to continue that cooperation. He called it a “profound honor and privilege” to serve the city for over a decade.
“While this investigation does not involve any official city business of any kind, it is in the best interests of our community that I step aside and serve as a distraction,” he wrote.
Wojahn, in the letter, did not address the allegations against him that include 40 counts of possession of child exploitative material and 16 counts of distribution of child exploitative material.
“Many of you have already reached out with well wishes and thoughts, and I am eternally grateful,” Wojahn wrote. “I am stepping away to deal with my own mental health. I ask that you continue to keep me and my family in your prayer.”
According to White House visitor logs, Wojahn visited the White House once in 2021 on June 25. He would then make two more visits in 2022 on June 15 and Sept. 13. According to Wojahn’s Instagram and the White House website, Wojahn was in attendance at an event “Commemorating LGBTQ+ Pride Month.” Pictures from his Instagram show Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg giving remarks for the event.

The other two White House events he attended were a “Pride Month Reception,” which included a “Signing of an Executive Order on Advancing LGBTQI+ Individuals,” and a ceremony celebrating the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.
In addition to the three visits listed on the White House website, Wojahn made three additional visits in December 2022 and January 2023, which will not be released on the White House website until March 30 and April 30. On Dec. 11, he posted several pictures of the White House interior, which included Christmas decorations and a caption that read, “Happy holidays! Enjoyed the opportunity tonight to see the stunning ‘We the People’ holiday decorations and celebrate the season!” Another post that he was tagged in on Instagram revealed that he was at the White House when Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act two days later on Dec. 13.
The January 2023 visit occurred on Jan. 20 and involved the United States Conference of Mayors, when White House officials touted “historic investment in cities.” Wojahn’s tweet shows multiple top Biden administration officials, including Biden’s senior adviser Gene Sperling.
This is the kind of pervert that fits right in with the Dems.
