The Trump court evangelical joins the fourteen members of Congress who opposed making Juneteenth a federal holiday. As he is prone to do, the supposedly God-fearing Kirk had a hissy fit on Twitter:
Lincoln knew America’s founding was July 4 1776. He knew that was the day our amazing nation made a step from “ideal” to reality

“Juneteenth” is an affront to the unity of July 4th. We now have 2 summer holidays—and one of them based on race
Shame on the GOP for supporting this
Making Juneteenth a federal holiday isn’t about emancipation of slaves. If it was—they would make September 22nd, Emancipation Proclamation Day, a federal holiday

This is about replacing July 4th—just like the 1619 Project is about replacing 1776
Conservatives must reject this.
Stop surrendering to the left because you are afraid of being called a racist.

America is building statues of George Floyd but tearing down statues of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. God help us all.

America only has one Independence Day and it's on July 4th, 1776.

If you're a conservative who is okay with the "Juneteenth National Independence Day Act," you're not paying attention to what the left is truly trying to accomplish.
