A far-left CNN priest faced backlash on Christmas for claiming that Jesus was a “Palestinian Jew” who was born into an “occupied” country as he tried to make comparisons from the time of Christ’s birth to modern day Israel. “I think the message of Christmas is that God enters into it with us and we’re not alone in it‚” Beck said. “What I’m so struck by is that the story of Christmas is about a Palestinian Jew — how often do you find those words put together? A Palestinian Jew born into a time when his country was occupied‚ right? They can’t find a place for her to even give birth‚ his mother. They’re homeless. They eventually have to flee as refugees into Egypt‚ no less. I mean‚ you can’t make up the parallels to our current world situation right now.” “And so in some way‚ that is who we believe God becomes born into that situation and yet‚ that very man‚ Jesus‚ says love one another‚ love your enemies‚” he continued. “There is hope. There is light in the darkness. I’m attesting to that. So somehow that God enters that experience of suffering and that struggle and is actually born into it. That is what is so miraculous about this celebration for me.” WATCH: WOW: "The story of Christmas is about a Palestinian Jew… born into a time when his country was occupied.. have to flee as refugees…" –@FrEdwardBeck‚ who is now a full-time activist trying to push Christians into Palestinian nationalism &; erase Jewish history. pic.twitter.com/MU5m2azHih — Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) December 25‚ 2023 Beck’s remarks faced significant pushback online from commentators who noted what he said was factually false. “This is embarrassingly wrong‚” responded New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz. Radio host Erick Erickson responded‚ “How can the press signal itself not really connected to the people? Put on commentary like this. Palestine was not even a creation of the Roman Empire at the time of Christ’s birth. Pushing a political agenda like this‚ using Christ‚ reflects poorly on the network.” Hussain Abdul-Hussain‚ research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies‚ responded: “Because you know how in Matthew 15:24 Jesus said‚ ‘I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel‚’ by Israel Jesus meant Palestine. Father Beck has to stop watching Al-Jazeera and start reading the New Testament.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP International human rights lawyer Arsen Ostrovsky wrote: “I think @FrEdwardBeck may have missed his Theology 101 class! This is embarrassing on any day‚ let alone #Christmas‚ as he’s on CNN.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) faced criticism on Christmas for a distorted retelling of the birth of Jesus Christ and for trying to politicize the event by making false comparisons to the situation in modern day Israel. “In the story of Christmas‚ Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents‚” she claimed. “He was part of a targeted population being indiscriminately killed to protect an unjust leader’s power. Mary and Joseph‚ displaced by violence and forced to flee‚ became refugees in Egypt with a newborn waiting to one day return home.” “Thousands of years later‚ right wing forces are violently occupying Bethlehem as similar stories unfold for today’s Palestinians‚ so much so that the Christian community in Bethlehem has cancelled this year’s Christmas Eve celebrations out of both safety and respect‚” she added. “And yet‚ also today‚ holy children are still being born in a place of unspeakable violence — for every child born‚ of any identity and from any place‚ is sacred. Especially the children of Gaza.” Nowhere in her post on Instagram did Ocasio-Cortez make any mention of Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack on Israel in which the Islamic terrorist group murdered 1‚200 Israelis‚ wounded 5‚300+‚ took more than 240 people hostage‚ and engaged in a sadistic campaign of rape against Israeli women and children. “The entire story of Christmas and Christ himself is about standing with the poor and powerless‚ the marginalized and maligned‚ the refugees and immigrants‚ the outcast and misunderstood‚ without exception‚” she continued. “This high Christian holiday is about honoring the precious sanctity of a family that‚ if the story were to unfold today‚ would be Jewish Palestinians.” Ocasio-Cortez was called out online over her remarks by a wide range of individuals. “Nothing to see here… just a Democratic congresswoman with a large social media following openly hating on Jews in broad daylight‚” said columnist Joe Concha. Jacob N. Kornbluh‚ senior political reporter at The Forward‚ wrote: “AOC describes Israel as a ‘violent right wing occupying force’ in Christmas post. No mention of Hamas terror‚ the victims of Oct. 7 attack.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP What @AOC tells you: If the Christmas story were to happen today‚ Jesus’ family would be Jewish Palestinians.

2023 was the first full year since ABC expanded the cast of The View to six co-hosts by cramming both former Trump White House staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin and former Republican strategist/lobbyist Ana Navarro into the “conservative” seat at the table. But despite doubling the number of supposedly right-leaning voices in their discussions‚ the two ladies have proven to be everything but strong conservative counterpoints to the other liberal ladies. Whether it’s Navarro’s rabid anti-Republican bent and refusal to defend longtime conservative policy proposals or Farah Griffin’s spineless capitulation to the likes of staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin‚ both have proven themselves to be faux-conservatives. Presented here‚ in no particular order‚ are their eight worst moments from 2023. The View Demands Republicans Capitulate to Democrats in Speaker Vote At the start of the year‚ the House of Representatives was in turmoil as multiple rounds of voting did not produce a viable Republican nominee to take over the speakership. Farah Griffin proclaimed she “would love to see Democrats and Republicans come together.” She touted far-left Democrat Ro Khanna (CA) who said he would support “a moderate Republican” for speaker. ‘Unifying the Soul’: The View Gushes for Biden’s 2024 Campaign Ad With the 2024 presidential race just beginning to warm up in April‚ Farah Griffin gushed about a campaign ad put out by President Biden. She boasted that Biden’s video “signals” the President “is champing at the bit to run against Trump or Ron DeSantis. He’s going after – he’s rightly saying‚ ‘Oh‚ they're going to target LGBTQ individuals‚ they’re going to go after abortion rights.’” She even asked Republicans: “Are you tired of losing?” The View’s Faux Conservatives Want GOP to Abandon Pro-Life Stance Perhaps nothing proves just how un-conservative were more than them advocating for Republicans to abandon the pro-life position. “There’s just a lot of the Republican Party is leaning so far into‚ you know‚ wanting to place as many restrictions on abortion‚” Farah Griffin whined as she pushed the liberal lie that pro-lifers didn’t care about babies and others after the birth. Navarro described protecting unborn life as the “horrible consequences” of the overruling of Roe V. Wade and decried that “Republicans…keep” racing and “competing to see how low can you go in terms of” restricting abortions.     The View’s Republicans Blame 'Gun-Owner Apologists' for Mass Shootings Keeping to focus on abandoning conservative principles‚ The View’s Republicans were arguably some of the staunchest anti-gun rights voices on television. Farah Griffin has repeatedly flaunted her ignorance of firearms and firearm policy when pushes liberal lies like mass shootings were a “uniquely American problem.” Navarro claimed: “The Republicans in Washington are bought and paid for by special interests‚ by gun manufacturers‚ and that's who they are responding to and that's who they are representing‚ not their constituents.” The View Refuses to Press AOC’s Dress Designer on Ethics Investigation While quick to pounce on Republican controversies‚ Farah Griffin often didn’t have the spine to confront liberals on theirs‚ particularly when they were in front of her. In May‚ she found herself face-to-face with fashion designer Aurora James‚ who made the infamous “Tax the Rich” dress worn by New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) to the Met Gala in 2012. Farah Griffin couldn’t find it in her to press James on the House Ethics Committee investigation Ocasio-Cortez was facing because of the dress and event. The next three feature the faux conservatives going to bat for President Biden and other allegedly corrupt Democrats. The View’s FAKE Conservative Demands House Ignore Evidence‚ Not Impeach Biden Despite mounting evidence of an alleged Biden family corruption scheme‚ Farah Griffin suggested there wasn’t any evidence and demanded that House Republicans ignore it all: If someone can come forward and say‚ ‘Here is the evidence that Joe Biden somehow profited off of Hunter Biden's misgivings‚’ 100 percent. I have not seen that. And my advice to House Republicans is: put up or shut up on this. Make it abundantly clear where a Democrat can't even look away because they see corruption there.     Hostin/Farah Admit to Evidence Against Biden‚ Argue Trump Was Worse Nearly two months later‚ Farah Griffin admitted that there was indeed evidence of alleged Biden family corruption but argued that Trump was far worse. She admitted there was an appearance of “impropriety related to Biden's involvement with Hunter‚” but chalked it up to unfortunate “misrepresentations” from the President. Navarro Praises Menendez‚ Prays for ‘Logical Explanation’ for Hidden Gold Bars In the wake of Democratic Senator Bob Menendez’s (NJ) corruption indictment‚ Navarro lamented that “this is personally hard for me” and that she was “shaken” by the bribery allegations. She also bizarrely admitted to bringing her “wealthy clients” to meet the Senator. She said she was “hoping against hope that there is some sort of logical explanation.” She later suggested that since he beat the last set of corruption allegations he faced‚ he could beat these too.  

If you’re wondering why leftists are constantly milling about in a state of anxiety and fear regarding former President Donald Trump‚ look no farther than the mainstream media. The media are relentless in their attacks on Trump‚ and MSNBC is one of the worst offenders. In a recent clip from “Chris Jansing Reports” on MSNBC‚ the host and guests ramp up their comparison of Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler‚ even doing a ridiculous side-by-side comparison between Trump’s words and the text of "Mein Kampf." In what appears to be a Truth Social post‚ Trump writes: “Illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation. They’re coming from prisons‚ from mental institutions — from all over the world. Without borders &; fair elections‚ you don’t have a country. Make America great again!” MSNBC compared it to this passage from "Mein Kampf": “The poison which has invaded the national body … especially the strong influx of foreign blood.” One guest‚ historian Douglas Brinkley‚ tells the MSNBC host that Trump has “been dabbling in Adolf Hitler his whole life” and “keeps Hitler speeches at a bedside.” “'Mein Kampf' seems to be the book that’s inspired Trump the most‚ so it’s heinous because it’s a kind of language meant to belittle people‚ dehumanize them‚” Brinkley.“Trump’s telling you that he doesn’t really mind the Hitler comparison‚ because at heart he admires Hitler.” Dave Rubin believes this couldn’t be farther from the truth‚ and he has the most blatantly obvious receipts to back it up. “His daughter and several of his grandchildren are Jewish. Do you know that? Hitler‚ not a fan of the Jews‚” Rubin says. “They just brought on a historian to claim that he knows what Donald Trump has on his bedside. Completely insane‚” he adds.
