President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a task force to address 'anti-Christian bias' in the federal government. Trump, citing his strengthened faith after two assassination attempts, appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the task force, which aims to protect the rights of 'Christians and religious believers worldwide.' The order directs the task force to halt all forms of 'anti-Christian targeting and discrimination' within government agencies, including the Department of Justice, FBI, and IRS.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday creating a task force to root out "anti-Christian bias" in the federal government., where Trump said his relationship with religion had changed after two assassination attempts on his life.
“I feel even stronger," Trump said. "I believed in God, but I feel, I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened.” The president appointed new Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the task force, saying she would "fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society," while working to defend the rights of "Christians and religious believers worldwide.
Yet the previous Administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians, while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses. The Biden Department of Justice sought to squelch faith in the public square by bringing Federal criminal charges and obtaining in numerous cases multi-year prison sentences against nearly two dozen peaceful pro-life Christians for praying and demonstrating outside abortion facilities," the order reads.
He also plans to create a new White House Faith Office led by the Rev. Paula White. White is a longtime pastor, televangelist and faith adviser to Trump.________________
