Reporter Roasted After Claiming Only ‘Extremist’ Christian Nationalists Think Rights ‘Come From God’
Politico national investigative correspondent Heidi Przybyla got roasted on social media Friday for saying Christian nationalists in power believe Americans’ rights “come from God.”
Przybyla said an “extremist element” of Christian nationalists in former President Donald Trump’s orbit are united in the belief that rights “come from God” rather than government and cite this belief to justify their opposition to abortion, gay marriage and in vitro fertilization (IVF), among other issues.
“And the one thing that unites all of them — because there’s many different groups orbiting Trump — but the thing that unties them as Christian nationalists — not Christians, by the way, because Christian nationalists is very different — is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don’t come from any earthly authority. They don’t come from Congress. They don’t come from the Supreme Court. They come from God,” Przybyla said during her appearance on MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes.”
“The problem is that … men — and it is men — are determining what God is telling them,” she added.
Wade Miller, the executive director for Citizens for Renewing America, tweeted that Przybyla had shown “disdain” for Christians.
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

LOL: MSNBC says if you believe your rights come from God (and not Congress), you are a Christian nationalist.
