Words certainly matter in politics, but never more so than when drawing clear moral lines and identifying culpable parties. Obfuscating the intentions of criminals and terrorists only empowers them.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are being harshly criticized for their obviously coordinated use of the label ‘Easter worshipers’ instead of the word ‘Christian’ to describe the victims of the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka.
The attacks on tourists and Easter worshippers in Sri Lanka are an attack on humanity. On a day devoted to love, redemption, and renewal, we pray for the victims and stand with the people of Sri Lanka.

On this holy weekend for many faiths, we must stand united against hatred and violence. I'm praying for everyone affected by today's horrific attacks on Easter worshippers and travelers in Sri Lanka.

What the heck is an Easter worshipper?
The term that these people are going to such painfully ludicrous lengths to avoid using is “Christian”. pic.twitter.com/9pXXB9kXye

Hey @HillaryClinton @BarackObama those "Easter Worshipers" you keep referring to are called #Christians. It is a few more syllables than Muslims but I bet you can say it if you try. Jesus says to love everyone regardless of differences; try it. Praying for #SriLanka #HeIsRisen

Hillary And Obama Both Refuse To Call The #SriLanka Victims Christians And They Both Won’t Call The Muslims Terrorists But Will Call Out “White Supremacy” For The Christchurch Attack Which 400% Less People Died In. They Will Do Anything To Not Recognize The Radical Islam Religion pic.twitter.com/mjzkuxQM7v

The churches in Sri Lanka welcome all faiths and people of all faiths go to Easter services. I know that sounds weird but I read up on that last night. So when Obama and HRC say “Easter Worshipers” they are referring to pluralism of Easter in Ceylon.

Specifically Colombo, Easter coincides with other native holidays. It is a busy time for outreach and community gatherings. I suspect this was why so many targets were chosen.

Pointing out how odd it is that the most influential Democrats are avoiding saying the word “Christian” isn’t a conspiracy. It's a legitimate observation.

To anyone defending the phrase “Easter worshipper” claiming this is some kind of conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton went out of her way to avoid saying the word “Christian” pic.twitter.com/k111ZdUcgr

I don't know about you, but I'm really looking forward to being called a "Christmas worshiper" in a couple months
