Democrats Seemingly Can’t (Or Won’t) Say “Christians”: #EasterWorshippers


After Obama and Hillary tweeted about “Easter worshipper”,


many people were wondering the same thing that as Newt Gingrich:

But they were far from the only ones who used the term “Easter worshipper” or something else to seemly avoid calling them Christian.


2020 Democratic Presidential Candidates:

Cory Booker

Contrasted with this tweet


Pete Buttigieg

I think “minorities in worship” is a new one. Is he talking about race or is he talking about gender? Nobody knows. Not even Pete himself.

Tulsi Gabbard


Kirsten Gillibrand

President Donald Trump’s corrected tweet (After mistaken claiming that 138 million had died in Sri Lanka) did not acknowledge that the victims were Christians.

Though he did retweet someone who specified their religion.



Vice President Mike Pence showed how it should be down with his tweet.


With Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz not wanting to be outdone, pointed out a well-known but underreported fact.
