Nationals Sean Hudson fired after blackballing Trevor Williams

Tough times are happening in the Washington Nationals’ media department.

According to James O’Keefe, a secret video has surfaced of Nationals Director of Community Relations, Sean Hudson, who was let go on Friday, admitting the team doesn’t use pitcher Trevor Williams in video promotions on social media due to his religious beliefs.

In O’Keefe’s post on X, it features multiple transcriptions from the secret video with Hudson talking about Williams and his religious beliefs.

“One of our pitchers, Trevor Williams. He’s super Christian-Catholic, all these tattoos that mean a lot,” the post reads.

The post also follows up with Hudson talking about a social media post Williams made in 2023 when the Nationals played a road game against the Dodgers during the team’s “Pride Night.” The Dodgers hosted the LGBTQ+ group, “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” a drag group that is made up of queer and transgender nuns.

“He [Trevor Williams] went on social media like… ‘This is my religion. You all are mocking it,” According to Hudson in the video.

On the homepage of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence website, it says, “We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty.”

In 2025, Williams was asked about the Dodgers event and called it a mockery.

“It becomes absurd,” Williams said. “If this is gonna continue to happen, what are we doing?”

According to Fox News, Republican representative Lauren Boebert has been vocal about the video and is urging acting Attorney General Todd Blache and Assistant Attorney General for civil rights Harmeet Dhillon to investigate the Nationals for alleged religious discrimination.

“I urged the DOJ to take immediate and decisive action,” Boebert said in the Fox News article.
