He has perfect plausible deniability. We all get the subtext, as do they. But they can’t prove it, so they just have to gnash their teeth.

No King but King Jesus.

Reince was referring to King Jesus.

Those ‘offended ones’ jumped to a conclusion, a wrong conclusion...

LOL Preibus is having a good laugh over this. Christians have no problem understanding the comment. Liberal and the MSM will have a field day.

Anyone with any biblical education knows exactly that this is referring to the baby Jesus. This "made for the media" rant is pure BS attention getting crap....

There are these unicorn chasing, conspiracy theory inventing ignorant morons who just have to invent all the drama they can because they got their asses whipped in the last election and do not have the maturity, honesty, or personal integrity, to admit it....

Liberals, you have zero power in our government after Trump is in the White House. Get used to it, get over it, and get on with life in the real world.

So they just keep making things up like a ten year old does. Hey liberals, grow the hell up and join reality as adults!!!!! It may hurt for awhile but your excuses are making you look juvenile, petty, and pathetic to the rest of the world.

Trump will be the president in less than a month and he is going to upend most of the socialist crap that Obama, in his King like mentality, thrust upon us with his Executive Orders.

If you are looking for someone who thinks they are King you have to look no further than our current pretender president. His record of executive orders can lead to no other conclusion. He thinks he is the king of this country and has the only answers to our problems when in fact he is the major problem we have had for the last 8 years.

He is the most Arrogant, Self-righteous, Narcissist president we have every had and the absolute worst CIC in the history of our nation.

Truth hurts but self-inflicted internalized lies will kill your party. Liberals really need to get back to the point of at least telling themselves the truth and living in reality.

LMAO. The RNC is trolling the secular Left.

There is much hope for the RNC in 2017.

And, it was quite subtle. With ample deniability.

Well played

And they had no complaint when folks likened Obama to the Messiah.....

We don't have kings, but if we did, Trump would be the one the people trusted with their well-being.

[Matthew 2:1] Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, [2] Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

I share the doubts that Trump would be a “new King”; one big reason is that his supporters tend to be the kind of Americans who wouldn’t favor a president who was king in all but name.

Who’s been compared to a king? I wonder if any “old king” (cf. “Herod the king,” “we have no king but Caesar”) would be a current president, who more than other recent presidents has been compared unfavorably to a king. Years ago, leftists were already hostile to that comparison. Maybe this realization, even if a slight one, is an undercurrent of leftist reaction.

I’m pretty sure Priebus was referring to Jesus, just as the Bible does-the idiots who are supposedly outraged by this have been outraged by every positive and hopeful message or occurrence since November 9th-it makes their heads explode-people can’t stop paying attention to them soon enough...

That statement will not be forgotten by any deplorable. No American has ever come close to making such a statement before entering the Oval Office. But then, we know all about these two misfits. They are what they are, and they are no good for US.
