CNN — a far-left outlet a jury found is literally fake news — is upset that Christians were permitted to openly pray to their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ while on the job at the Pentagon.
The outlet’s hissy fit stems from a Christian prayer service Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hosted at the Defense Department on Wednesday. The event — for which Hegseth himself said attendance was on a “voluntary basis” — featured remarks and prayers from Hegseth and the defense secretary’s Tennessee-based pastor, Brooks Potteiger. //
As aptly noted by Federalist CEO Sean Davis, “America was founded as a Christian nation by Christian men with Christian ideals and morals and laws for Christian purposes, and the only thing the First Amendment prohibits is the literal establishment of a specific government church funded by taxes.” In other words, the framers did not want the U.S. government “establishing” an official state church subsidized by the American people.
In no way did Hegseth’s voluntary prayer service violate this constitutional provision. Not even close. //
What’s become evidently clear, at CNN and other left-wing propaganda outlets, is that it’s perfectly OK to dishonestly question, ridicule, and/or outright smear Christianity if doing so can help advance leftists’ agenda. And given that their worldview is antithetical to Christian teachings, it’s safe to assume this despicable trend is here to stay.
