A guest on MSNBC is facing severe backlash on social media for expressing the notion that a fundamental aspect of Christian nationalism is the belief that our rights are derived from God.
During an MSNBC segment, Politico’s Heidi Przybyla said, “The one thing that unites all of them — because there’s many different groups orbiting Trump — but the thing that unites them as Christian nationalists — not Christians by the way because Christian nationalists [are] very different — is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthly being.”
“They don’t come from Congress, they don’t come from the Supreme Court. They come from God,” she added.
Here @MSNBC helpfully makes it clear their disdain for Christians in America.
She says that if you believe that your rights come from God, you aren’t a Christian, you are a Christian nationalist.
Somehow they seem to not mention that our own founding documents make this… pic.twitter.com/WTLMqcqTzg

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR with certain inalienable rights…To believe these words makes you a Christian Nationalist, Heidi Przybyla? I'm a Jew. You are an illiterate idiot. Shame on Politico. https://t.co/RJv7mZQ7jm
