AOC Complains About Christian Super Bowl Ads Being “Fascism”

People having different views is not fascism. Pushing people to only have one party-approved view is.

Following the airing of two advertisements during the Super Bowl paid for by a Christian organisation, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez complained that Jesus wouldn’t approve of the ‘fascist’ content.

The group called He Gets Us was reported to have spent $20 million on the two slots. The ads depicted Jesus as disapproving of the division politics and mainstream culture is causing in the U.S. and around the globe.

The ads with the tag line “Jesus loved the people we hate,” were targeted at communities who may feel shunned by Christianity, such as LGBTQ+ people and refugees.

The message failed to resonate with AOC, however, who declared that the ads “make fascism look benign.”

The reason AOC reacted this way is likely that the ads were funded by Hobby Lobby CEO David Green and run by the Servant Foundation who have previously funded anti-abortion campaigns.

He Gets Us responded to AOC, with spokesman Jason Vanderground noting “[Jesus] cares about our problems because he has experienced them. He gets us. We believe that investing in efforts to ensure more people consider his life and movement as inspiration for their own, will in turn, help improve the lives of those listening — and begin to create the kind of cascade of love Jesus himself sought to generate.”

Social media reacted to AOC accordingly:

Love your enemy equates to Fascism? 🤣. You’re brilliant!

demons and haters of Jesus get triggered by him … is simple

Something tells me we shouldn’t look to @AOC for our theology and spiritual guidance.

It’s sad to see when you find people spreading the word of god and you have to find some way to be divisive about it. We need God back in this country and you hate that it’s the one thing can could bring us all together in an instant.

Praying for the hate to leave your heart. 🙏❤️

That's your take from a great Super Bowl ad reminding us of the truth, universal to all religions and all wisdom, that hate is bad?

Are you serious?

You have jumped the shark. Presumably, an intern is writing your tweets while you wear a fancy dress to a Super Bowl ball.

How, exactly, did the ads promote fascism in any way? They were promoting Jesus Christ. You can get angry that Alliance Defending Freedom contributed to funding the ads, but what does that have to do with fascism?

Jesus wouldn't vote to send $100 billion to Ukrainian Nazis either, but you didn't have a problem doing that.

People having different views is not fascism. Pushing people to only have one party-approved view is.

So a general message to people to actually act like a disciple of Christ by loving those we disagree with is fascism? The overriding message is to have empathy & compassion – the essence of Christ’s ministry. Don’t demonize the message because of the imperfect mortals bearing it.

You’re the last person I would trust to put words in Jesus’s mouth.

Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members.

Former President Donald Trump will appear with striking union members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Detroit, Michigan, as his opponents squabble for the spotlight on the debate stage on September 27, according to a report that multiple sources have confirmed to Breitbart News.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s forthcoming appearance with Detroit auto workers striking against the big three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — which will serve as counter-programming to the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members,” according to the Times, as they strike for higher wages following 40-year-high inflation and seek commitments from automakers and the federal government that Biden’s electrical vehicle agenda will not threaten their jobs or pay, as Breitbart News has documented.

Multiple Trump aides have confirmed the 45th president’s plans to Breitbart News.

Trump, who regularly takes a majority of support in independent national GOP primary polls, is keeping with the strategy his campaign employed in the first debate when he skipped the event and instead joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one 45-minute interview on the host’s eponymously-named show, Tucker on Twitter.

After battling the counter-programming, which was released at the start of the first GOP debate on August 23 and instantly went viral, debate storylines quickly fell to the wayside when Trump surrendered in Fulton County, Georgia, on his fourth indictment a day later. The arrest produced the now-iconic mugshot of Trump, the first-ever mugshot of a former president of the United States.

Trump’s latest plans further signal his focus on a potential general election rematch with President Joe Biden rather than the Republican primary, as union workers who were long the foundation of the Democrat coalition were pivotal in helping elect him to office in 2016, as Breitbart News’s John Binder emphasized on Saturday:

In 2016, union workers helped propel Trump and his nationalist-populist agenda to the White House — scoring the most support among union households for any Republican presidential candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In 2020, Biden helped widen that gap by taking 57 percent of union households compared to Trump’s 40 percent. Trump could significantly increase his share of union households in a rematch against Biden by registering to vote millions of non-college-educated whites in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania who remain disenfranchised.

Binder’s report highlighted that the Detroit Free Press first revealed that Trump was weighing a visit to Michigan to meet with UAW members striking against the Big Three automakers.
