Republicans who lead the Wisconsin Assembly voted Tuesday to call the state Capitol evergreen a Christmas tree and formally recognize National Bible Week, moves they said were necessary to ensure Christianity isnt marginalized as the holidays approach.
The 64-30 vote on naming the tree was a direct response to Gov. Tony Evers declaration last week that it would be called a holiday tree. Evers Republican predecessor Scott Walker, the son of a Baptist minister, declared the evergreen was a Christmas tree during his first term in 2011.
It seems like the only religion were willing to take shots at is Christianity, Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke told reporters during a news conference.
Democratic Rep. Jonathan Brostoff, who is Jewish, told Republicans if they want to help Christians they should pass gun control bills to keep them from getting killed.

Interesting that the AP shines the light on the liberal Jew in the story, who is pushing anti-Second Amendment propaganda.

Some Jews aren’t really Jews. Their gods are Ba’al and Socialism. For a “Jew” to support governmental disarmament of the population is to support genocide.

Waiting for this imbecilic fake Governor to call the Menorah a “holiday candlestick holder.”
