Trump unveils anti-Christian bias task force

President Donald Trump of the United States on Thursday unveiled a task force to eradicate anti-Christian bias in government, intensifying a right-wing crackdown since returning to power.
The President said he was putting new Attorney General Pam Bondi at the head of the force to end persecution of the majority religion of the United States.
According to him, the mission of the task force would be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination in the Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service, the FBI and other government agencies.
Trump also said the task force would prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism.
“We will protect Christians in our schools, in our military and our government, in our workplaces, hospitals and in our public squares,” Trump said.
He also announced the creation of a ‘White House faith office’ led by his spiritual advisor, the televangelist Paula White.
The announcements followed a wider purge of the federal government at the start of Trump’s second term.
DAILY POST reports that Trump has unveiled a slew of orders backing a conservative agenda, including several targeting diversity programs and transgender people.
Despite a criminal conviction for hush money payments in a porn star scandal and sexual assault allegations, Trump has long made himself a champion of right-wing Christians.
His cabinet contains several members with links to Christian nationalists, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
