    Best conclusion of preceding 2 tweets is that the GOP wrote a confusingly-worded passage that did not intend to describe Trump as a King.

      @jonathanchait But did write an unusually explicitly religious Christmas message.

        @jonathanchait There's no confusion. Standard wording. You just have no clue

        @miskrzys @jonathanchait if that is standard let's see some more examples. And separation of church and state???

        @miskrzys @Marketeer2u @jonathanchait It's not close to the standard wording of the prior Christmas greetings. Not even close.

        @KJacobvitz @Marketeer2u @jonathanchait There's no standard RNC Christmas language, but there are standard Christian concepts

        @miskrzys @Marketeer2u @jonathanchait By standard, I am referring to the language they used in the last few years.

        @KJacobvitz @Marketeer2u @jonathanchait and that language tells you what? Educate yourself first about Xianity before venturing an opinion.

      @jonathanchait It's not confusing to almost anyone that understands even a iota of Christian theology or Christmas in general.

        @jonathanchait I'm more incensed they've got the Wise Men coming 12 days early. lol. 12 days of Christmas? Epiphany & 3 Kings Day are Jan. 6

        @maggiemae802 @jonathanchait Actually the wise men (unspecified number in Bible) came a few months later. Time to see star, then travel.

        @PNWShan @jonathanchait Whatever, the point is they weren't there the same night Jesus was born. Conventionality uses the 12 days theory.

        @maggiemae802 @jonathanchait Yes, people often conflate the two events.

      5. Maggie‏ @maggiemae802 25 Dec 2016

        @PNWShan Just like they conflate the Virgin Birth and Immaculate Conception. As someone who was raised Catholic I had that drilled into me.

      @jonathanchait it's not confusing. It was a Xmas message that never referenced Trump.

      @jonathanchait There was nothing in that statement that even hinted at the President-Elect.

        @jonathanchait Not that confusing. Clearly GOP is so full of themselves that 2nd coming allusions considered a fair rhetorical flourish.

        @elvislevel @jonathanchait Advent season had ALWAYS looked both back to 1st coming of Jesus AND 2nd coming as King of kings No ref 2 Trump
