Gov. Scott Walker said the tree in the state Capitol rotunda this holiday season is a Christmas tree, not a "holiday tree," which it had been called for the last 25 years.
Walker referred to the "Capitol Christmas Tree" in a statement announcing the tree's arrival.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation said Walker is endorsing Christianity by using the term according to the Associated Press.
But Walker Spokesperson Cullen Werwie said, "It's a Christmas Tree."
"In all honesty, I don't know what more to say about it," Werwie told the AP.
