Biblically illiterate liberals believe Republican tweet about Jesus is actually about Trump

Reince Priebus, the next White House chief of staff, sent out a traditional Christmas greeting today:

Merry Christmas to all! Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind. 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.

Even as we celebrate, we must also remember those among us who are less fortunate. Many on this day are without hope, and need the kindness and compassion of those around them. It is our prayer we will rise to meet the material, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals all around us, and what better day is there to love our fellow man than today?

But Biblically illiterate liberals believed that Priebus was referring to Donald Trump instead of Jesus Christ.

Check out this indignant tweets!  Ha!

.@gop @Reince Hell no, Donald Trump is not a “new King” comparable to Jesus Christ. @foxnews #tcot #ccot

Imagine the outcry had President-elect Obama compared himself to Jesus on Christmas Day AND called himself “king.” https://t.co/Iq0MjefIID

Of course, liberals must not have ever picked up their Bibles… referring to Christ as a king is about the most basic aspect of Christianity.

But at least they’re amusing on this Christmas Day.
