At Christmas tree lighting at Pentagon, Hegseth announced Franklin Graham will be preacher at December Pentagon prayer service. I reported earlier this week on the 6 preachers at monthly prayer events so far that included 1 of Graham's sons:

Ugh, bad #ChristianNationalist ideas are spreading. I reported yesterday on all of Hegseth's prayer services at Pentagon (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/pentagon-p...). Now, Department of Labor doing it. 😒
According to an email sent to employees, the Trump administration's Department of Labor says it's hosting the "inaugural Secretary’s Prayer Service on Wednesday, December 10th."
