Social media erupts over GOP statement about 'new King'

RNC Blasphemy (Christmas Heralds a New King - Trump)

Quote
A Christmas statement released Sunday by the Republican National Committee (RNC) drew outrage among opponents on Twitter who objected to talk of a "new King."

“Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind," RNC chairman Reince Priebus and co-chair Sharon Day said in the statement.

"Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King. We hope Americans celebrating Christmas today will enjoy a day of festivities and a renewed closeness with family and friends."

Glad they admitted it.  America now has a royal family. 

The Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves.

Well, that was not very artfully written....

You know I just don't believe that.  I think that it meant exactly what it always means.  A baby was born.  Emanuel.  King, Lord and Savior.  New meaning baby Jesus.  And I would take this opportunity to give Praise to the King, and Lord of Lords.  My Savior Jesus Christ.  Born of a Virgin.  Mary, Mother of God.  The Baby Jesus born to save the world!  Happy Birthday Jesus. Whether it was in December on a different day or whatever.  It is what I celebrate.

If there is something off about that I hope not.  But I do believe we are living in the last days.  What that means I don't know.  Not the time or day but the news tells the story.  Be ready always!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Certainly is poorly written. Whether it was done deliberately or not, it is a mistake nonetheless.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say whoever wrote that needs to sharpen up their skills a bit.  I'm pretty sure they meant "Jesus the King", but it was so poorly written a child can twist that to mean "Orange is the new Jesus".  It's as if they were trying to find a way of saying "Merry Christmas" without acknowledging Jesus in the process.

The media are so insanely stupid. I'm an Orthodox Jew and even I knew that the RNC "King" statement was talking about Jesus.

@geronl, please give it a rest.  He made the words easy to twist, and twist they did.  Have a donut, and a cup of my eggnog, with Southern Comfort.  I shredded some fresh nutmeg on it....

Jesus.  We're celebrating the birth of that new King just as the wise men did that night.

He phrased it clumsily, but really, the meaning is pretty clear.

@RAT Patrol, I don't want to argue with you, so I say this with respect:  just chill.   And don't accuse me of taking the Lord's name in vain when I clearly did not do so.  I don't appreciate it, and it's offensive.

There are times when Trump and his team deserve criticism, and I have a feeling there will be more going forward.  This isn't one of them, and I'm not going to kneejerk over something that's so obviously a non-issue.

I am not going to obey your orders @CatherineofAragon.  Your post read differently to me the first time.   I see that I was wrong about the meaning and apologize for that.  I think they deserved the criticism they got on this issue.  You are not the keeper of the Trump criticisms, telling the rest of us when we can and when we cannot disapprove.  Neither are the other thread bosses who have tried to smack down criticism.  We are entitled to our opinions.  You guys have ruined this website by morphing into the trumpbots.

@RAT Patrol

Yep, that's me...a Trump-bot through and through.

Happy New Year, RAT, and blessings to you.
