Right wing screeching about the “war on Christianity” never includes complaints about secret police raiding houses of worship to rip families apart (or, for that matter, bombing churches in Palestine)
Here’s a story for every national news outlet:
In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.
“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”
