Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez really didn’t like those Christian Super Bowl ads that talked about Jesus —she was triggered, big time.
From Fox News:
One commercial shows a slideshow of black-and-white images of migrants fleeing their homes to avoid persecution. The ad revealed that the story is actually about Jesus, his mother Mary and her husband Joseph.

He Gets Us is running a $20 million ad on Sunday. Do you think open borders is biblical? pic.twitter.com/WDyCwk2zr4

The other ad displays black-and-white images of disputes between people over racial justice, pandemic lockdowns and politics. The ad then states, “Jesus loved the people we hate.”

The He Gets Us campaign was launched in March 2022 and plans to spend $2 billion over the next several years. The ads direct viewers to a website that includes Bible readings, methods to chat with real people about religion and information about Jesus.
AOC…had some thoughts.
“Something tells me Jesus would *not* spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign”

And, of course, other lefties couldn’t resist piling on.
With the money the “He Gets Us” people spent on their right-wing Jesus ads, they could permanently house 1,563 people experiencing homelessness.

If Jesus were alive today, He'd say "hey don't spend all of those millions of dollars to run a Super Bowl ad about me. Instead, use that money to feed the poor and house the unhoused."
Sure, He gets Us.

Just FYI, the same group that is financing the “He Gets Us” Jesus ads is also helping finance the lawsuit seeking to ban abortion medication nationwide
