AOC draws criticism over Christmas message comparing Jesus's plight to Palestinians
-
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted a Christmas message comparing Jesus's plight to that of modern-day Palestinian refugees. This upset Mike Huckabee who called her "utterly ignorant".
-
Huckabee criticized AOC for not understanding the history of the Middle East, Jesus, Jewish people, Israel, or "virtually anything else she talked about".
-
Huckabee disputed AOC's use of the term "Palestinian", claiming it only started referring to Arabs in 1962, when previously it meant "Jewish people".
-
Huckabee said Bethlehem was 80% Christian until the 1980s when radical Muslims took over, burning and shooting Christians down, leaving only 15% now.

Huckabee described a recent "sobering" trip he took to war-torn Israel.
