Marco Rubio Is Rebranding the State Department as Explicitly Christian

The U.S. State Department under Secretary Marco Rubio has shifted its public messaging toward explicit Christian iconography and away from secular and multicultural themes, according to a The Intercept analysis of Instagram posts from 2020 to 2026. Posts now focus on Christian holidays like Good Friday and Easter, omitting prior celebrations of Islamic, Jewish, and cultural events under previous administrations.
