Elon Musk targets Lutheran groups' federal funding. Here's how the money is used in Columbus
Flynn, who briefly served as national security advisor during the early days of President Donald Trump's first term, posted on X on Saturday night that Lutherans are using "'religion' as a money laundering operation" and that it "must end."
Flynn said the "huge sums" the entities in the screenshots get "raise serious questions about how taxpayer funds are being spent and who’s benefiting."
Those questions are easily answered, at least locally, with a look into what services Lutheran Social Services of Central Ohio provides in Columbus and the region.
The grants specifically mentioned in the images are for the LSS Health Center, [President & CEO of LSS] Lustig said.
The health center, located Downtown on North Grant next to the organization's homeless shelter, Faith Mission, offers health care to people experiencing homelessness and those with low incomes who may have trouble accessing health care.
