The Trump DOJ is now the defender of Christian religious liberty
Plan (drafter input)
The DOJ just released a report saying the Biden administration targeted Christians. The task force was created by a Trump executive order, run by Trump's acting AG, and released on Trump's schedule. Joe's angle: the same administration that posted an AI image of Trump as Jesus on Truth Social, that pulled a surgeon general nominee over vaccine skepticism, that has Trump calling the Pope out by name — is now the defender of Christian religious liberty. The report itself cites the Southern Poverty Law Center as a villain while the administration's own allies call Catholic bishops 'radical.' Walk through the specific hypocrisy: who got targeted, who's doing the targeting now, and what the Johnson Amendment actually is.

Body
A Justice Department task force released a report this week saying the Biden administration systematically targeted Christians. Surveillance of Catholic parishes. Coordination with abortion-advocacy groups. IRS pressure on churches. The report is detailed. It is also written by Todd Blanche, released under a Trump executive order, and timed entirely by this administration.
Ok but here's the thing. Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons at the Interfaith Alliance called this "gross hypocrisy" — and that's not just a talking point. The same administration that posted an AI-generated image of Trump as Jesus on Truth Social. The same administration that pulled its surgeon general nominee over vaccine skepticism. The same Trump who criticized the sitting Pope by name — Pope Leo, if you want to be specific. That administration is now the entity deciding who counts as a victim of anti-Christian bias.
The report itself leans on the Southern Poverty Law Center's alleged villainy — the SPLC being the organization the FBI Richmond office used when it looked into the Our Lady of Fatima Society, which the report also criticizes. It also raises real concerns about the Johnson Amendment, which governs political activity by tax-exempt organizations. Some of those concerns are legitimate. They've been raised by people across the spectrum for years. The problem isn't the question. The problem is who's asking it, and why they're asking it now, and what they plan to do with the answer.
