Far-Left Rep. Adelita Grijalva Vows to Investigate America 250 for Involving Christianity: “We Do Not Have an Official Religion in This Country, Nor Do I Believe Should We”

Rep. Adelita Grijalva says a future Democrat majority would investigate America250 over what she described as an increasing emphasis on Christianity

The radical, Godless Left is at it again, and this time they are setting their sights on America’s 250th birthday celebration.

Newly elected far-left Democrat Representative Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) threatened that if Democrats somehow manage to hijack the House gavel, they will immediately launch a weaponized congressional investigation into the Trump administration’s official “Freedom 250” events.

The comments came during an appearance on MS NOW’s “The Beat” with guest host Luke Russert, who pressed her on the Christian themes and “Christian nationalism” in the events marking America’s 250th anniversary.

Instead of defending the First Amendment and America’s foundational history, Grijalva completely took the bait, trashing the historic celebration.

Russert:
“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?”

Grijalva:
“Well, that’s incredibly problematic because our nation is built on, really, the contributions of immigrants, of people from all different countries, all different nationalities, and all different religions. We do not have an official religion in this country, nor do I believe we should. We are supposed to be this melting pot where everyone comes together and is stronger as a result of it.

“But under this administration, it is more about how Christian you are. You know, if you’re Catholic, you’re not Christian enough. If you’re Muslim, you’re not part of our—I mean, it’s like this sort of club of elitists, and they keep pushing people away and out of what is supposed to be a really solid celebration.

“Even some of the speakers who were speaking all spoke of religion, and not as much about what the contributions have been in our country. We could have had a true celebration of art, music, poetry—just a big, encompassing celebration of what it is to be an American and everyone who has contributed.

“But what it has been is an incredibly stifling, hot environment that nobody is coming to because there’s really nothing to see there.”

The fake news reporter eagerly chimed in, claiming that “one religion shouldn’t hijack an entire celebration of America,” before asking if Democrats would use a future House majority to launch an official probe.

Grijalva gleefully confirmed the Left’s upcoming witch hunt.

Russert:
“Yeah, some of the earliest Americans were those who were fleeing religious persecution, and that’s been a long-standing tenet of our country’s success. Also, the freedom of religion is guaranteed in the First Amendment. I could go on and on about how one religion shouldn’t hijack an entire celebration of America.

“Real quickly, trend lines are looking good for the Democrats to take back the House. Do you think this would be something that would be investigated if Democrats get the gavel back?”

Grijalva:
“Oh, I believe it will be, yeah.”

Watch the absolute disdain for everyday Christian Americans:
