The ‘He Gets Us’ campaign is drawing controversy after purchasing two Super Bowl spots for commercials that they claim were meant to help everyone “rediscover the love story of Jesus.” One of the ads portrayed people of different backgrounds washing the feet of others. In one scene‚ a police officer is seen washing the feet of a young black youth. Allie Beth Stuckey believes something’s just not right with the ads. “We want to cheer it on‚ we want to say‚ ‘Yes‚ at least Jesus is being proclaimed to the masses’ and ‘Wow‚ what a crazy opportunity that a Super Bowl ad is being dedicated to Jesus and the gospel‚’” Stuckey says‚ adding‚ “But I don’t want to ignore‚ and I don’t want you to ignore‚ that nagging feeling that we all have that this is just not right.” The slogan‚ “He Gets Us‚” is an issue in itself. “It makes Jesus about you‚ who you are‚ what you want‚ what you're trying to create‚” Stuckey explains. “In an effort to do that‚” she continues‚ “they end up saying things that are not true. They have an ad that says‚ ‘Jesus was an immigrant‚ Jesus was a refugee‚’ and it looks like they are comparing him to the immigrants who are illegally crossing over the border.” For the ads to compare Jesus to us is to miss the point of who Jesus was and what he stood for. “Instead what it affirms‚” Stuckey says‚ “is‚ 'Yeah‚ it actually is all about you. Jesus came to affirm you; he came to be like you; he came to affirm and celebrate your identity‚ your status‚ your choices‚ and that’s it‚ end of story.'” To hear more of Allie's analysis‚ watch the clip below.

On Thursday‚ a grief-stricken mother of a Los Angeles shooting victim slammed Democratic District Attorney George Gascón for his progressive policies that have shown "more sympathy" to criminals than to victims.Emma Rivas confronted Gascón during a district attorney debate last week. Rivas' 25-year-old son was murdered in 2016. "My child was killed by a gang member‚ and you had more sympathy for that gang member than my child who was killed in front of my home. Can you explain to me? Because I've been looking for you for four years‚" she stated.In what appeared to be a relatively insincere response‚ Gascón said‚ "Look‚ I am broken-hearted for your loss. Yes‚ I am." He then went on to defend his policies."The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. We as a country and we as a community have been doing the same thing for generations‚" he added. L.A. DA George Gascon is forced to defend his policy to ban prosecutors from pursuing gang enhancements. \n\nHe's confronted by a mother whose son was killed by a gang member &; the DDA's who are running against him. \n\nFeat @jonathanhatami @EricSiddall @johnmckinney_ @MariaforDA — (@) Gascón has served as Los Angeles County District Attorney since 2020. He previously served as the DA of San Francisco from 2011 to 2019.The George Soros-backed DA has repeatedly landed in hot water for his far-left‚ soft-on-crime policies that have contributed to the rampant lawlessness. Since 2020‚ Gascón has managed to dodge two separate recall attempts. Shortly after he was elected‚ Gascón prohibited prosecutors from pursuing enhanced punishments for gang members‚ KTTV reported. Gascón is now facing 11 primary challengers vying for his position‚ most of whom have spoken out against the policy.During the Thursday debate‚ when candidates were asked whether they believed there should be gang-related crime enhancements‚ Gascón was the only one not to raise his hand. During a Sunday interview with "Fox &; Friends Weekend‚" Rivas said‚ "This is the first time in history‚ 180 years‚ that we've ever had a DA that has a heart for criminals and not a heart for the victims. There are parents that lost their children to murder that are 16‚ 17 years old and getting five years in jail. Where's the justice in this?" she asked."And he sits there smiling and laughing‚ and he just doesn't care‚" Rivas continued. "He's not fit to be a DA‚ and his assistant is a defense attorney. How did we get to this? And why aren't people realizing this man is no good for L.A.? He already ruined San Francisco‚ and now he's doing the same thing in Los Angeles County."According to a KTTV poll‚ Gascón is currently in the lead with 15% support‚ and Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami is in second with 8%. However‚ 64% of those polled stated they do not know which candidate they will vote for in the DA election."I'm running for District Attorney for ALL of you. Democrats‚ Republicans and everyone in between. We are the leading challenger in this race‚" Hatami wrote in a post on X. "We are leading because people are tired of crime and want to be safe in their homes‚ their schools‚ their neighborhoods and their businesses. They want their children to be safe. That isn't political. It's the right of all of us."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Award-winning journalist Catherine Herridge is out of a job.On Tuesday‚ CBS News parted ways with Herridge‚ a senior investigative correspondent who primarily covered national security and intelligence. She had most recently reported on new allegations against President Joe Biden and the battle to release the transcripts of Biden's interviews with special counsel Robert Hur.Herridge was seemingly caught up in a mass layoff impacting approximately 800 employees at Paramount Global‚ the parent company of CBS News. But sources who spoke with the New York Post alleged that axing Herridge was not simply a cost-cutting measure.The Post reported:Sources said Herridge had clashed with CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews — a sharp-elbowed executive who was investigated in 2021 over favoritism and discriminatory hiring and management practices‚ as revealed by The Post."[Ciprian-Matthews] got rid of her enemies under the guise of budget cuts‚" a source told the Post. "She cleared the deck and she had to sacrifice some others like [CBS News correspondent Jeff] Pegues."Before joining CBS News in 2019‚ Herridge had worked at Fox News since its inception in 1996. Herridge is a widely respected journalist who often reported on topics the legacy media ignored. It was a shock‚ then‚ that Herridge was chosen as one of the reported 20 journalists at CBS News to be laid off.Her surprise termination was widely eulogized on social media at CBS News' expense:"CBS News was one of the most respected names in journalism. That's no longer the case. Today‚ it fired Catherine Herridge who is facing financial ruin and even prison for protecting her sources. Herridge is a hero. CBS execs have behaved cowardly. Shame on them‚" journalist Michael Shellenberger reacted.".@CBS is stupid (and cruel I might add) …CEO’s boss makes 32 million+/year and yesterday the company laid off Catherine Herridge (great reporter/incredible sources/honest) …is he really worth 32 million that the company loses great reporters?" journalist Greta Van Susteren said."Catherine Herridge is a national treasure and journalistic hero. Old media is destroying herself. I can’t tell you what an insane move it is for @CBSNews to let her go — particularly during an election year…." Meghan McCain said."This is terrible news for the network and a sign of the professional atrophy that is accelerating at various media organizations. Herridge was wonderfully 'old school' in insisting on objectivity and balance in her reporting‚" law professor Jonathan Turley noted.Herridge‚ meanwhile‚ is at the center of a high-stakes First Amendment case in which a judge has ordered her to reveal a source for a story she reported during her tenure at Fox News. Herridge has so far refused‚ and a judge has threatened to hold her in contempt of court.Like Blaze News?
