CWN Editor's Note: Becket, the prominent religious-liberty law firm, has named Gov. Gavin Newsom of California the winner of its annual Ebeneezer Award, named after the character in Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol.
Newsom was given the award because he “canceled the state’s annual in-person Christmas tree lighting and skipped the menorah lighting traditionally attended by the governor. As if to combine the two slights, the governor said he was canceling the live Christmas tree lighting over fears that anti-Israel protestors would cause disruption.”
