The D.C. congregation has routinely garnered the attention of left-wing agitators since its first worship service last year, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/08\/07\/politics\/pastor-doug-wilson-christian-domination-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attended<\/a> by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As I got close to the demonstration on Sunday, I finally made out what the anti-Christian crowd was chanting: \u201cKirk Church, abort Christ.\u201d Once inside the Starbucks at the corner of Pennsylvania and 3rd Street, I watched as families with young children came out of Sunday worship and were subject to a bullhorn-wielding person screaming \u201cF-ck Jesus, Mary, and Joseph\u201d with a gravely, demonic-sounding tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During the time the rabble-rousers were shrieking their insults at believers, Pennsylvania Avenue was lined with Metropolitan Police. There was no physical violence, and the provocateurs remained on the other side of the street from the church. <\/p>\n<p>Yet it seemed unclear where exactly the authorities would draw the line. When one of the bullhorn-wielding agitators screamed that the worshipers should jump out of the window to their death, that was apparently permissible.\u00a0The implicit message seems to be that it is permissible in Muriel Bowser\u2019s D.C. to harass, threaten, and scream obscenities at young Christian families going to and from religious services.<\/p>\n<p>Even though no one was killed and no buildings were burnt to the ground, what happened in St. Paul and in Washington, D.C., on Sunday was not \u201cpeaceful protests.\u201d\u00a0Protests are supposed to be aimed at the government, not citizens worshiping God on Sunday morning. What Americans witnessed last weekend were leftist agitators terrorising ordinary people \u2014 including young children \u2014\u00a0as they came out of church in order to intimidate Christians and make them feel unsafe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"zqsa397T8G2Fip\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Protesting is actually about petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.

There was also an overlap of personnel. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KristiNoem\/status\/2014405751565881707?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> on X that William Kelly was arrested and charged with violating the FACE Act for his role in storming Cities Church last Sunday. Kelly was also reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChristKirkDC\/status\/2014419646762418438?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">known<\/a> to regularly verbally assault Christians and conservatives outside of Christ Church and The <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Heritage\/status\/2014419967035236665?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heritage Foundation<\/a> in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Federal law enforcement agents <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/01\/22\/feds-arrest-anti-ice-agitators-over-coordinated-attack-on-minnesota-church\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">also arrested<\/a> two other anti-ICE agitators who invaded Cities Church, Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen. A federal judge whose wife works in Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison\u2019s office refused to approve a complaint bringing charges against Lemon.<\/p>\n<p>The anti-Christian harassments this past weekend demonstrate that the left is not interested in \u201cpeaceful protests,\u201d and certainly not toleration. The agitators outside of Christ Church in D.C. accosted Christians simply for being Christians. They taunted Jesus Christ and His mother, and screamed \u201cF-ck you\u201d at little kids as they walked out of church. That is not peaceful, nor is it actually protesting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These attacks on Christian worship went far beyond the peaceful assembly of patriotic citizens. The First Amendment links peaceful assembly to \u201cpetition[ing] the Government for a redress of grievances.\u201d Accosting churchgoers as they leave church services is not petitioning the government for a redress of grievances. If the rabble-rousers were screaming outside of the Capitol \u2014 a mere two blocks away \u2014 that would be one thing, but instead, they chose to scream at young Christian families on a Sunday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What exactly were the D.C. agitators\u2019 demands? Other than their general disdain for President Trump and Christians, it was very unclear what exactly they were \u201cprotesting.\u201d Their only clear objective seemed to be harassing and intimidating faithful Christians.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On a spiritual level, it is sad to consider the personal lives of these agitators. They, too, have souls and will one day stand before their Maker. And here they were, on a Sunday morning, dressed in Handmaid\u2019s Tale costumes, screaming filthy obscenities at families who worship the God who loves them. The entire scene is a tragedy, and these agitators need Christians\u2019 prayers and love. However, the least loving thing Christians can do is passively observe leftists invading churches, blaspheming God, and harassing families and label it all as \u201cfree speech.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As we approach midterm elections, the conservative coalition should be very clear: For the good of families \u2014 and also for the good of the agitators\u2019 souls \u2014 we will not tolerate a \u201cprotest culture\u201d that hides behind the right of free speech as leftists scream obscenities at women and children as they come out of church.\u00a0More prominent conservatives should call out the sinister childishness and perversion of the left\u2019s insurgency groups that rely on intimidation and harassment, and no conservative should fall for the lie that such demonstrations are free speech.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If Americans want these kinds of actions to be purged from public life, elected officials need to wield the power given to them by the people. That means enforcing public decency laws and other statutes to vigorously defend churches like Christ Church in D.C. and Cities Church in St. Paul against these kinds of blasphemous, disruptive, and blatantly anti-Christian demonstrations.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>\n  Bradley Haley is a George Washington Fellow at Hillsdale College, and the Founder of New Guard Press.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1236506251669850');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/01\/23\/dc-leftists-threaten-families-as-nazi-scum-simply-for-attending-church\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=dc-leftists-threaten-families-as-nazi-scum-simply-for-attending-church\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While anti-ICE insurgents stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul on Sunday, there was another anti-Christian disturbance happening outside of a church in Washington, D.C., where&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6023,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spiritual-wellness"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignnewstoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
