'Too pro-Christmas': Fox News brutally mocked for claiming Biden is 'jumping the gun on Christmas'

Biden is not going to force anyone to say Merry Christmas on Thanksgiving. Not on Fox News' watch.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/too-pro-christmas-fox-news-brutally-mocked-for-claiming-biden-is-jumping-the-gun-on-christmas/ar-AA14qe30?li=BBnb7Kz

Over the years, many critics of Fox News and its sister channel Fox Business have mocked the right-wing cable media outlets for claiming that liberals and progressives are carrying out a “War On Christmas.” It’s a claim that’s difficult to back up, as Christmas music, Christmas celebrations and Christmas decorations become ubiquitous in a long list of major U.S. cities that are overwhelmingly Democratic — from Boston and Philadelphia to Seattle to Chicago. Nonetheless, many Fox News and Fox Business hosts have insisted, year after year, that there is a movement among liberals, progressives and Democrats to attack Christmas.

But in 2022, ironically, Fox News is, according to Media Matters’ Matt Gertz, attacking centrist Democratic President Joe Biden for being “too pro-Christmas.”

At 6 PM on Monday, November 21, Fox News announced its “all-American Christmas tree lighting.” But only four later, on far-right host Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show, “The Ingraham Angle,” the following words appeared on the screen: “Biden White House Jumps the Gun on Christmas.”

Then they have serious problems for sure. God forbid if Joe says "Happy Holidays" at any given time, they will blow a gasket. "It's Merry Christmas! How dare he say 'Happy Holidays'"

hell the meaning of Christ's birth (if that's actually the proper date) means nothing to them because if it did they would not act the way they do.

An even better question IMHO is "if there was ever such a person".
