On Fox News, Trump Senior campaign advisor Tim Murtaugh claimed that now people aren't afraid to celebrate Christmas since Trump was just elected. Fox News host John Roberts cited decided an article Murtaugh wrote for the Washington Times where he warns companies to shut up, and either sell, or entertain us and be done with diversity. The flood of GOP MAGA propaganda has begun and it's already ridiculous even before the Thanksgiving day holiday. Did you know President Biden canceled Christmas these last four years?
