You'd think Axios would've learned to be more careful with their stories and posts after the Border Czar brouhaha during the election.
They did not.
We start with a screenshot, because Axios was getting DRAGGED for this post:
Wowza.
President Trump's flurry of orders restricting immigration and promising mass deportations violate core Christian principles of caring for the poor and needy, religious leaders in multiple denominations said.
The big picture: Many of the policies championed by Trump during his campaign have roots in Christian nationalism that several churches reject.
- The blowback comes as the Trump administration clears the way for immigration officials to conduct raids in churches and schools, sites previously deemed off-limits.
What they're saying: Provisions within Trump's executive orders "are deeply troubling and will have negative consequences, many of which will harm the most vulnerable among us," Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in a statement.
This is delicious. They were screaming about 'Christian nationalism' and Project 2025 all throughout the campaign.
And now -- NOW -- they have the audacity to lecture us on Christian values. This writer has demonstrated, at least as far as Catholicism is concerned, we only have an obligation to assist the illegal immigrants to the extent we are able, and now that we can't help people in Maui, L.A., or Western North Carolina because that money went to illegal immigrants, we've met our obligation.
They'd also lose their minds if Trump imposed the Christian values concerning abortion and gay marraige.
Take ALL the seats, Axios.
After getting ratioed into orbit, the cowards deleted the post and put this up instead:
We have deleted a post that did not give attribution to religious leaders who claim Trump’s immigration policies violate core Christian principles.

Suuuure. That's why you deleted it.
If you repost with such attribution, be sure to include commentary from religious leaders who argue to the contrary, as I doubt you'll have trouble finding some.

They'd never do that.

It is not.
Delete your propaganda trash account while you are at it.

Axios = Trash
Seems to be a common suggestion.
Is this your "religious leader" source?? pic.twitter.com/5huDOES67G

Her and Pope Francis.
AKA: we got caught claiming to speak for “Christian principles” when we are just a left-wing news outlet.

Nailed it.
Wow, if you can’t be honest in your reporting, then why are you in business? You’re no different than the Enquirer. You just work your angle of untruths in politics rather than Hollywood. https://t.co/O9QlRfTg12

Because they're not reporters, they're propagandists.

They literally did the meme.

Not a darned thing.
And we're okay with that.
Now keep going and wipe your account https://t.co/ic39rPaN5l

There it is again. Maybe Axios should take that advice.
