"Roll away the stone" Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins proclaims to her 100,000 employees on Easter

 

Headline:  CNN, 4/9/2026

Rene Marsh reports:

A “Christ is Risen” Easter message sent by the secretary of agriculture has sparked backlash inside the department, angering some of its nearly 100,000 employees and prompting a formal complaint against the secretary for the religious message. 

Employees at the department’s 4,500 offices across the country received an email From Secretary Brooke Rollins on Sunday: “Happy Easter — He is Risen indeed!” 

Rollins told all department staff it was a day to celebrate “the foundation of our faith.” 

“From the foot of the Cross on Good Friday to the stone rolled away from the now empty tomb, sin has been destroyed. Jesus has been raised from the dead. And God has granted each of us victory and new life,” the email read.  [emphasis added]

I imagine that Brooke is fully on board with this sacrilege.
