Democrats may boo God at their national party convention, but they breathlessly cite scripture out of context when it suits their political purposes. Jim Acosta, a CNN television “reporter” who has curiously never been spotted in the same place at the same time as Will Ferrell, accused the Trump administration of un-Christian behavior Thursday at a White House Press conference. Acosta pontificated, “The Attorney General earlier today said somewhere there’s a justification for this in the Bible. Where does it say in the Bible that it’s moral to take children away from their mothers?”
Acosta was referring to a federal policy that temporarily separates i*****l a***n children from their parents upon apprehension. Ironically, as Ben Shapiro points out, the policy only exists in the first place because Democrats and l*****t judges have insisted that authorities cannot detain children, meaning that they must temporarily separate children from parents in order to prosecute i*****l i*********n at all. White House Press Secretary and Evangelical Christian Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded to Acosta’s sophistry simply: “It is very biblical to enforce the law.”
She’s right, of course. Christ instructs in Matthew 22:21, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s.” St. Paul explains to the Romans, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.” Acosta asked a biblical question; he got a biblical answer.
Scores of other left-wing pundits jumped on the scripture-quoting bandwagon, from a******n enthusiasts to CNN correspondents to Muslim terrorist apologists who explicitly deny the t***h of the New Testament. It may seem strange for these insta-exegetes suddenly to cite the authority of a book so many of them dismiss as fantasy until one realizes that their purpose is not illumination but entrapment.
The Devil tried the same strategy on Christ in the wilderness. Satan expertly quoted Psalms as he tempted Christ to jump from the roof and fly:
“He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you," and "On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.” The Devil knows the Bible better than almost anybody — certainly better than you or I or any CNN commentator desperate to score points at a press conference or on Twitter. Only when Christ quoted his Father in Deuteronomy, “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test,” did the absurdity of Satan’s citations become clear.
Con artists have long twisted scripture to distort moral reality and distract from clear moral questions, such as the issue at hand yesterday: does a nation have the right to decide who can enter its territory, enjoy its taxpayer-funded services, and participate in its politics?
The answer is clear, and so left-wing activists who wish to undermine federal law and erase national borders resort to outright deception. They go out as wolves among sheep, innocent as serpents though mercifully wise as doves. We must do the opposite.

Always good to start an article by generalizing...
Quote:

Well... Sarcasm and poor humor...
This adds a dash of credibility to the entire article....

"Acosta pontificated, "
Good word... Sure to resonate...
Quote:
"“The Attorney General earlier today said somewhere there’s a justification for this in the Bible. Where does it say in the Bible that it’s moral to take children away from their mothers?”"
A fair question...
The AG did bring up the bible...
Somewhat leading though..

What does the law say?
Opinions are great, but don't supercede the law...
There is no need to separate parents and children to prosecute i*****l i*********n...
Proof of parenthood should be enough to ensure they remain together..(my opinion)
Quote:
"“It is very biblical to enforce the law.”"
Fair response... If a bit of a dodge...

Bible quotes are great for defending or attacking most positions...
(Personal note: nothing not stated by Christ is of worthy of note... my opinion)

Analysis / Bias
The Daily Wire presents news with a right wing bias in reporting and wording. For example headlines are usually sensational and utilize strong emotional language such as this: Democrats Boo God. Then They Quote The Bible To Attack Trump.
Virtually every story favors the right and denigrates the left. The Daily Wire has also published some false information such as these and this directly from Ben Shapiro. Further, a factual search reveals that the Daily Wire, on a whole, has a mixed track record with fact checkers.
Overall, we rate The Daily Wire as a far right biased news source based on story se******n that always favors the right and that is Mixed for factual reporting due to a few failed fact checks. (9/2/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 6/16/2018)
