Duffy Calls For Painting Of Jesus To Be Displayed At Administration Building Of Merchant Marine Academy

The Christian Post reports:

Midshipmen at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy erupted in raucous applause last week when Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy called for a painting of Jesus to be brought up from the flood-prone basement where it was placed during the Biden administration. “Can we bring Jesus up from the basement?” he asked, looking to the USMMA administration. “Let’s not put Jesus in the basement! Let’s get Him out! Let’s bring Him up!”

The historic painting “Christ on the Water” was relocated following a 2023 letter from Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, who issued a “demand” to USSMA Superintendent Vice Admiral Joanna Nunan that she “expeditiously remove a massive, sectarian painting illustrating the supremacy of Jesus Christ” from the Elliot M. See Room inside Wiley Hall, which serves as an administrative building at USMMA.
