Culture wars at Kennedy as Trump chief centres Christ

Richard Grenell, Donald Trump’s new KenCen chief, has made his first programming announcement at a Conservative conference in Maryland, promising ‘a big, huge celebration of the birth of Christ at Christmas.’

Grenell said: ‘How crazy is it to think that we’re going to celebrate Christ at Christmas with a big traditional production, to celebrate what we are all celebrating in the world during Christmastime, which is the birth of Christ?’

Sound like he’s aiming to put churches out of business.
