The New York Times reported that the prevalence of Christian crosses as necklaces had grown in recent months, and many on social media responded with baffled mockery.
The Times report cited many different examples of prominent figures wearing crosses in public and added a history of the meaning of the cross, even prior to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
“Lately, the cross necklaces flash across cable news screens several times a week, suspended between the collarbones of Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, and Attorney General Pam Bondi,” reads the article by Misty White Sidell.
Not surprisingly, the Times got slapped with brutal ridicule online. more
“…Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, and Attorney General Pam Bondi…
If Karoline Leavitt IS the press secretary, wouldn’t a professional writer not put the comma after her name and before her title, or a professional editor remove it if she did?
Must’ve been a real slow newsday at the NY Times …
Good to see NYT keeping up with the times 🤦
Since when has this been a thing?
They have to comment about Karoline’s cross necklace but I would bet they NEVER criticized Karine Jean Pierre’s daily ridiculous eye make-up …
This was no lapse of editorial judgement at the NYTs. It was a broader attack on Christianity and American Christians and it was an attack on Bondi, Leavitt and others in the Trump WH. They were just taking their readership’s temperatures to see which way they should proceed in order to undermine Trump’s admin. We’ll all know more after they follow this with a screed about Christian zealotry clouding the decisions by this WH.
The ny slimes will never fail to let our nation and society down.It’s a communist organ, after all.
I never take mine off.
THOSE DISCRIMINATE AGAINST MY PEOPLE, THOSE VILE SYMBOLS CAUSE FAMINE TO OUR FAMILIES. THESE SHOW HATRED TO OUR KIND AND MUST BE BANNED, AT LEAST FROM NECKS!
The older I get the more I realize how true what Reagan said about liberals is – “The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”
Two of my earliest online memories relate to this and both happened on online fan forums related to popular fiction books. The first time happened after I said that I honestly didn’t like reading a certain author that was held in high esteem by a lot of the forum. I was promptly told by one lady that I should broaden my horizons. Now that sounds innocent enough but it was the tone of “I know best and you should listen to me” that made my eyebrows rise. Sound familiar?
The other time I mentioned a political candidate (well before Trump and not whether I supported or opposed them) and was immediately treated to a lecture on, get this, what *I* believed and why those beliefs were wrong. Never mind that we were online, using alias, and she had absolutely no way of knowing what my beliefs on anything were. She just immediately knew everything about me & why it was all wrong. Or misguided. Whatever.
My point being that the worst of the worst of the left really believe they know everything but they will eventually show they actually know nothing if you let them talk long enough.
