“The Trump administration, alleged champion of beleaguered Christians, is using its power to block the church’s work and its bully pulpit to undermine that work with false accusations. When Trump ally Michael Flynn said on X that Lutheran social service organizations are involved in ‘money laundering,’ self-dealing hatchet man Elon Musk chimed in and called the relevant federal funding ‘illegal payments.’ White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that cutting off funding to Catholic Charities was about combating ‘wokeness.’ Vice President Vance called refugees ‘illegal immigrants’ and accused the Catholic Church of looking out only for its ‘bottom line.’ Every quote in this paragraph is a bald-faced lie.”
