Jonathan Lemire has made a stunning theological discovery!
On Thursday's Morning Joe, Lemire played a clip of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at Quantico in which he said, "As Psalm 33:12 extols us, blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."
Lemire's verdict: "Yet again, another moment where Secretary Hegseth uses explicitly Christian rhetoric to describe the military."
Just one problem. It's not "explicitly Christian rhetoric." It is a line from the Psalms, written long before the Christian church emerged.

Delivering his lecture with a classic pursed-lip, “Church Lady” look makes the fact that Lemire completely flunked Old Testament 101 so much better.
“Isn’t that special?” 😇👇
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
There should be a statute regarding separation of press and state.
Oh look, another ignorant twink on TV.
In before the posters say it means the Jews are running our military.
Lemire (who claims to be Catholic) clearly didn’t pay attention in Catechism class.
What an idiot.
What if it were a “Pete al-Hegseth” as SecWar that quoted from the Koran?
Point: They go after Pete for…anything. Ilhan Omar is treated like a rock star for saying things like she represents Somalia in Congress.
Is that Lamire’s “Isn’t that special?” Church Lady face?
Lemire is reaching pretty badly. And I am being charitable.
This is an excellent example.
For democrats... jews and christians...
They all look the same.
That’s why it’s said, first they come for the jews...
Does he think saying “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” is “explicitly Christian rhetoric”? Actually maybe he does.
So true....
You cannot separate ignorance from stupidity since Lemire is both.
Using scripture to get demons expose themselves is a brilliant move and this is a great example.
Jesus did it so basically it’s biblical.
I don’t like that guy.
>> Point: They go after Pete for…anything.
Yep. That’s why I ignore them for... everything. 😉
Never heard of this Lemire guy. But he never saw a Bible before, either. That’s the trouble with these modern experts they put in front of cameras today. They are, as you say, idiots.
No wonder they all fell for Fauci so bad.
He would have been fine with it if it was from another book from the religion “of peace”
I'm guessing he'll be fired by Trump soon after the mid-term elections or impeached by the next democrat majority Congress.
Lemire thinks King David was the man who wouldn't let Mary stay at the Ritz in Bethlehem ... and that her husband Joseph had a coat of many colors - a coat that was overpriced because of Trump.
