Send French To France

For many conservatives, the name “David French” is like nails on a chalkboard. While French was once a conservative Christian, who worked at outstanding groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom, he has completely gone over to the left, which wants to erase Christianity from the public square.  

Last year, the New York Times hired French to be one of the paper’s so-called “conservative columnists.” French frequently pops up on left-wing talk shows to lecture Christians and conservatives about how wrong we are.

This week, French went on MSNBC to chastise Christians who were posting “Christ is King” to celebrate Easter. He said:

“During Holy Week, Christians all over Twitter were posting 'Christ is King' specifically aimed at Jewish Americans, specifically aimed to assert religious dominance in a very gross and ugly way. . . It is very distressing. But even more than that, it is very dangerous.”

So, at a time when pro-Hamas mobs are taking over college campuses and demonstrating in the streets, French thinks Christians are the ones threatening America’s Jews by saying, “Christ is King.”

What exactly is so “gross,” “ugly,” “distressing,” and “dangerous” about Christians saying, “Christ is King”? Why does French see that phrase as equivalent to hate speech?

It happens to be a central tenet of the Christian faith. The Bible even refers to Christ as the “King of kings.”

Sadly, French doesn’t seem bothered at all by Joe Biden’s proclamation celebrating “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter Sunday.

Speaking in Wisconsin yesterday, Donald Trump declared that November 5th, Election Day, will be “Christian Visibility Day.”
