At the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, President Trump assured attendees of his commitment to defending Christians against anti-Christian policies pushed by the radical left.
He highlighted the historical suppression of churches by communist and fascist regimes and warned that similar actions were being attempted in America.
In a related incident, under the Biden administration, six Christian pro-life activists were charged by the Department of Justice for peacefully praying and singing hymns inside an abortion clinic in Nashville.
These activists have been convicted of violating the FACE Act and a felony conspiracy charge, potentially facing up to 11 years in prison.
Later in his speech, Trump declared, “No one will be touching the Cross of Christ under the Trump Administration; I swear to you, that will never happen,” which garnered loud applause from the audience.

Former President Donald Trump promised to use a second term in the White House to defend Christian values and even suggested he’d shield the faith’s central iconography, warning a convention of religious broadcasters on Thursday night that the left wants “to tear down crosses.”
“Remember, every communist regime throughout history has tried to stamp out the churches, just like every fascist regime has tried to co-opt them and control them,” Trump told hundreds of cheering attendees at the National Religious Broadcasters International Christian Media Convention in Nashville. “And, in America, the radical left is trying to do both.”
“They want to tear down crosses where they can, and cover them up with social justice flags,” Trump added. “But no one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration, I swear to you.”
