MSNBC Guest Suggests ‘Christian Nationalists’ Are United By a Belief Rights Come From God

An MSNBC guest is getting absolutely dragged on social media after she said a main view of so-called Christian nationalism is a belief that our rights come from God.

During an appearance on MSNBC, 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.

Wow. What a shocking and radical concept. It's almost as radical as the Revolutionaries in 1776. This is such a dangerous, subversive concept.

It's not just so-called Christian nationalists who believe our rights do not come from government or a king or even Congress, but from God. It is an idea enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. It is one of our country's founding and guiding ideals.

So it is unclear what makes so-called Christian nationalists different from Christians -- or even Jews for that matter -- by that definition.

There are plenty of ideas other than one of the fundamental principles of our country that unite the people she is talking about. And those ideas deserve to be called out and criticized.

But when you have the media suggesting it is a Christian nationalist idea that our rights do not come from government, it smacks of a kind of anti-Christian, anti-Western bias in the press and intelligentsia.

At best, she just flubbed her explanation of what makes up Christian nationalists, a little worse option is that she's historically illiterate, and perhaps worst is the option that she is rejecting one of the core principles of our system of government as radical, and suggesting, in fact, that our rights do in fact come from government.
