Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez blasted Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen as "a liar" and appeared to compare President Trump with King Herod, who wanted Jesus killed after his birth.
Nielsen was testifying on border policy before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday when Gutierrez used his allotted time to rip into her and the president.
He said it is ironic that Republicans would hold the hearing during the Christmas season, which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ.
Gutierrez, a Chicago Democrat, said that it is "repugnant and astonishing" that during the holiday season, migrant family separation would be a topic of importance to the GOP.
Gutierrez said that, at the time of Jesus Christ's birth, King Herod became outraged and ordered all children under two to be murdered.
"Thank God there wasn't a wall that stopped [Jesus, Mary and Joseph] from seeking refuge in Egypt. Thank God that wall wasn't there," he stormed.
"And, thank God [the Trump] administration [wasn't there] or He too would have perished on the 28th -- on the Day of Innocence when Herod ordered the murder[s]."...

Herod is dead, Jesus lives.
After his little tirade, he arrogantly turned and left while Secretary Nielsen was speaking which was rude and childish. He should be sanctioned and have his ass kicked down the Capitol steps.
The idiot should probably learn that both Judea and Egypt were under Roman rule at the time, within the same empire. The family did not in fact cross what we would consider to be a national border in modern terms. It would be not unlike going from one State to another.
No, SJL has a long running start. Even that socialist chick from New York will need to really apply her indoctrinated ignorance and sense of entitlement to dethrone her.
Luis, even though he is Puerto Rican, is the second most effective member for Mexico in the US House.
I didn’t know Jesus was Mexican, or is he taking about HeySoos.
Funny how atheists are experts on the bible when they have never picked one up in their lives.
The Dems want to force their twisted theocracy on everyone. Their religion is the socialist state. Killing babies and anal sex are their sacraments.
No thanks Dems.
Joseph and Mary went to Egypt because they were invited - Gutierrez must have missed that part of the Bible
And Paul RINO is the most effective.
Lighten up, Luis. Geez.
Even if there was a wall, God would have miracled the family right around it to fulfill the prophecy.
Luis brings Him up, but denies His power.
What was Noah’s Ark but a big floating WALL.
Lots of walls throughout the Bible to keep EVIL out.
I love it when those who have no use for the Bible try to use it as justification for their bad ideas....I see the dems are starting to do it too.....
Luis Gutierrez, Schumer, Pelosi, etc. Seems these dems are all nucking futs.
Really?
Since we do NOT know the REAL date of Jesus' incarnation; why did the 28th become selected?
WHY did Herod want those up to 2 years old to be killed?
How long did it take for the magi's caravan to reach Jerusalem?
7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also."
9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him.
House?
That sure ain't a manger!
I hope they had adequate ID!!!
