A Christmas statement released Sunday by the Republican National Committee (RNC) drew outrage among opponents on Twitter who objected to talk of a "new King."

ADVERTISEMENT “Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind," RNC chairman Reince Priebus and co-chair Sharon Day said in the statement.

"Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King. We hope Americans celebrating Christmas today will enjoy a day of festivities and a renewed closeness with family and friends."

"...this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King."

Yes. Jesus is our new King. He is the King of kings - I don't have a problem with that.

They must have missed valjar's pronouncement that their king obama would be "ready to rule from day one". Perhaps they were just fine with that.

Exactly. We fired our last secular king in 1776. Had some poseurs since then but there's only one King.

Christian Americans have a King of Kings, which obviously was what he referred to.

As a Christian l know exactly what he meant. If you are part of the secular world and waiting for another reason to dislike Trump then you don’t, it’s that simple.

Obviously, no one know how to read anymore. On Christmas, we celebrate the arrival of the New King, the Christ Child.

We currently have an evil, stupid emperor so the new king in waiting wouldn’t be that bad...

It was my impression that the New King they refer to is Jesus. They simply want to RETURN to Celebrating the NEW KING, not being told they can't even say "Merry Christmas".

Only the left assumes they mean Donald Trump is the new king.

We know how these morons would react to “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” (”glory to the newborn King”) - even without Trump waiting in the wings, they would freak out. The only sensible response to democrats out of power is to laugh at them.

What are these so-called “progressive” thinkers inferring? Have they believed America had an “old king”?
