Morning Note

Donald Trump announced plans Thursday to establish a task force and a presidential commission to protect Christians from religious discrimination. It will aim to stop “all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government.”

“While I’m in the White House, we will protect Christians in our schools, in our military, in our government, in our workplaces, hospitals and in our public squares,” the president said while addressing the National Prayer Breakfast. “And we will bring our country back together as one nation under God.”

It was easy to miss if you weren’t paying attention, but the Biden administration really did put Christianity under attack. It used force to prevent mass worship, supported the arrests of anti-abortion grandmothers, funded the killing of Middle Eastern believers, and backed an Eastern European government that banned a Christian denomination because it didn’t like its politics. 

But remember, the former president is a “devout Catholic.”
