Jesus preached that the poor ought to be cared for and that refugees should be protected. (“I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”) Yet now, Christian nationalists and religious rightists hail and practically worship an inveterate prevaricator who has mounted a cruel mass deportation crusade—waged alongside a racist campaign of demonization—that is causing pain and misery for many of our law-abiding neighbors. Merry Christmas. MAGA
