ABC News political analyst shocked that Christians didn't treasure his gift of politicizing the holiday

It’s an amazing disgrace, all right.

I am amazed. It is Christmas Eve, and the lack of civility, compassion, caring by people who claim Christianity is astounding. God Bless

exactly the reaction you were trying to get, though.

Not this again: “For a bunch of people who claim to be Christians, you sure don’t live up to my standard of Christian behavior.” It’s been done and done and done already … this week even.

This is one of the self-proclaimed Christians who believes that making fun of my disability is appropriate. @DonnaLeaPurcell

Jesus healed those w/ epilepsy in Bible. Some Trump Christians make fun of em. Tonight theyll be in church praising Jesus. Think about that

Why would Christians be uncivil to ABC News’ chief political analyst on Christmas Eve, of all days? It’s impossible to know for sure, but his contribution to the holiday might have something to do with it.

Any chance you're going to be this woke during Ramadan?

Ah, the gift of politicization that absolutely no one asked for! Just chuck that over in the pile with the “Joseph and Mary were homeless” lectures from Hillary Clinton and Al Gore and Jesse Jackson and …

I'm amazed. It's Christmas Eve & you're here politicizing the birth of the Savior to virtue signal to people who reject Him GB

Maybe don't politicize the story of Christ's birth that we are celebrating tomorrow.

— Troy Franco (@tfranco817) December 24, 2016

Because if there's one day Christians should allow @matthewjdowd to blatantly distort the origin story of Christ, it's Christmas Eve.

— D.W.Robinson (@_DWRobinson) December 24, 2016

What would Christmas be without an agenda? Too bad you don't present the story accurately.

Joseph and Mary were not refugees and the scripture never mentions their wealth or lack of it. The were reporting for census.

— Big John (@big1john) December 24, 2016

There weren't any refugees, and the stable held the unfathomable riches of Christ. Bigger on the inside than the outside.

Also, the Magi weren't there yet. But carry on. Do you have any more modern political ideas to get off your chest?

Seriously?? The purpose of this tweet is what, exactly?

— ❌Lisa ???? MAGA ??☘️✌???✝️ (@LisaSMN_CO) December 24, 2016

Just reminding Christians of the reason for the season and all that.

You decided to troll Christians on Christmas and you're shocked, just shocked at the responses you're getting. https://t.co/mNAwnDxCjx

@dangainor @matthewjdowd this sure didn’t last long, did it? https://t.co/eNc2unba8b

What, this?

Here are a few things I will attempt to do and hope you can hold me accountable to them. In an election as important as this, I want to listen more, be open-minded, and speak so that what I convey is being kind, rather than being right. Because I had gotten much of the election right, I became arrogant and pride took over. I now step forward with more humility.

It's a signature low point to politicize the birth of Jesus. Go to Mass.
