A Democrat in Congress is vowing if Democrats gain control of the U.S. House, they will investigate the national celebrations of America’s 250th birthday organized by President Donald Trump, specifically because of its high-profile inclusion of Christianity.
U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., made the threat Friday on MS NOW’s “The Beat” broadcast with guest anchor Luke Russert.
Russert asked: “This iteration of America 250 – this Freedom 250 that Donald Trump and his cronies have engaged in – there is a really strong element of Christian nationalism that is meant to define what it means to be an American. Can you speak to that and what you guys uncovered?”
