RNC dismisses controversy over Christmas press release

The Republican National Committee spent Christmas afternoon defending a press release that many interpreted as the political party deeming President-elect Donald Trump a king.

In a holiday message sent out by the GOP, Reince Priebus, the outgoing RNC Chairman and incoming chief of staff, wished a "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," the message said. "We hope Americans celebrating Christmas today will enjoy a day of festivities and a renewed closeness with family and friends."

The note, however, quickly prompted questions on social media, with many recipients wondering whether the GOP was referring to Trump as the "new King."

RNC - "Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King." Once again, Republicans are hailing Donald Trump as a new God King.

1. Not even Skeletor Barbie can spin this. n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

2. These guys are delusional

donald j. trump as Jesus. Yeah.

Divine Right of Kings .... been there, done that in history

Total Bullshit

[DK504]

9. And the delusion expands.

The obvious pandering to the "Xtians" is nauseating. All these religious zealots 'praise the Lord' and all their talk about the baby Jeebus, they are still frightening and stupid. They will lead the lemmings off the cliff crying out for Armageddon and the return of the Messiah.

The crap this press secretary chins out will have these morons speaking in tongues any minute now and will be completely oblivious to what is real happening to them.

32. Point taken. But you might want to rewrite this a bit.

16. Field promotion from 'Feuhrer'??

WHAT THE HELL do these F*CKERS THINK??!?!?!?

[iluvtennis]

4. Yep, this has been all over twitter. Just shameful and intentional in my opinion.nt

5. Down on your knees

6. And he's the anti-christ, too!

14. thanks

[Feeling the Bern]

7. Rinse Penis can suck a fat one! He does, when we sucks on his master's orange dick

What a fucking asshole.

[tenorly]

17. After popping Viagras in Trump's mouth like grapes, presumably.

Like a 21st-century Tiberius and his eunuch, those two. God help us all.

[Ilsa]

8. Did anyone ask why the rnc engages in blasphemy?

Comparing Trumputin to Jesus is about as insulting to God as they can get.

[No Vested Interest]

28. +1000. nt

[Zorro]

10. Assholes revel in being assholes

They enjoy pissing off normal, decent people.

[rtracey]

11. perhaps

we all know how some kings have ended up...quite delusional, mostly hated by their citizens, frightened, paranoid, hiding from every voice they hear in their heads. Some even perused by their own families to take their positions.

[Blue Idaho]

12. I'm not sure it's up to them...

They are the ones that alluded to Trump as Christ - it's up to US to remind them that (a) we don't have kings in America and (b) Trump is a third rate hack about rule in a RNC dictatorship wet dream.

I'm not sure Rancid Penis and Crackwhore Kelly can disappear this with a wave of the regal hand.

[left-of-center2012]

13. They declare Trump the new King, replacing Jesus

And then blame everyone for politicizing it?

[Thor_MN]

15. 2 choices. They think Trump is King or They are endorsing Christianity.

Spin away rethugs, you have two choices what your release meant.

18. Behold @Reince new GOP Messiah

Unto us a narcissist is born. Unto us a demagogue is given. Government shall be his ATM & he shall be called sexist dirtbag puppet of Putin.

[Bayard]

26. This almost brought my oatmeal back up

Won't they be smited for this blasphemy?

[NastyRiffraff]

27. That Tweet should come with a health warning!

"Viewing could be hazardous to your health"

Peace, Cha!

19. "this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King"

Imagine the outrage if this had been said about Obama?

[truthisfreedom]

20. Every pronouncement by the GOP is followed by a long, bubbly fart.

[pbmus]

21. The new American nazi party has arrived...

[Midnight Writer]

22. These fools wouldn't recognize the New King if he materialized wearing a halo

[Achilleaze]

23. The Republicans don't even read their Bible.

Their holiday message has the Magi arriving to see baby Jesus the night he was born. WRONG. If they read the Bible they claim to follow, they would know it took the Magi 12 more days and nights to arrive.

Hello Republicans? Ever hear of Epiphany?

Obviously not.

Fake Biblical news (R) is not OK.

[jmowreader]

31. They read the George W. Bush Edition Bible

It contains:

Leviticus, Chapters 18 through 20

Revelation

Every instance where God levels an entire town because one little kid in there pissed him off

And absolutely nothing else!

[Mc Mike]

24. Reince is a sacreligious little f**king weasel, isn't he?

But he's a repug pol, so the descriptive language is redundant, obviously.

[They_Live]

25. Horseshit!

A pox on their house.

[Norbert]

29. I am a Christian

and I find this extremely insulting. Who in the hell do they think they are?

[orleans]

30. maybe what he really meant to say was

"i'm just gonna shove my head up my own ass and puke out some christian crap even though i don't know what the fuck i'm talking about...family and friends"
