Mallory McMorrow.<\/p>\n<p>McMorrow and other progressives have been accused of &#8220;grooming&#8221; and sexualizing children in recent weeks over their push to advance teaching on sexual orientation, gender identity, and critical race theory in public school classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>But according to Dowd, in doing so, McMorrow is simply following the example left by Jesus of Nazareth. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have said this before, and I&#8217;ll say it again: If Jesus Christ was alive today, He would be called a groomer, He would be called woke, and He would be called a socialist if He was alive today and speaking the message he spoke in the gospels today about treating everybody with dignity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jesus Christ hung around with prostitutes and tax collectors,&#8221; Dowd continued. &#8220;He was nailed to a cross because he spoke on behalf of the most marginalized people in the Middle East.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"0a3c4\" class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"15be714d449de82c4a83c1f26d5070e1\">\n<div class=\"rm-embed-container rm-embed-twitter rm-loading\">\n            <span class=\"rm-embed-spacer rm-embed-spacer-mobile\"><\/span><br \/>\n            <span class=\"rm-embed-spacer rm-embed-spacer-desktop\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rm-embed-holder\">\n<blockquote class=\"rm-embed twitter-custom-tweet\" data-twitter-tweet-id=\"1516900460501864457\" data-partner=\"rebelmouse\">\n<p>BREAKING: Chief Bush-Cheney advisor: &#8220;If Jesus Christ was alive today, he would be called a groomer&#8221;pic.twitter.com\/6he4MCIKhM<\/p>\n<p> \u2014 Jack Posobiec u2626ufe0f (@Jack Posobiec u2626ufe0f)<br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JackPosobiec\/statuses\/1516900460501864457\">1650492227<\/a>\n    <\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>What else?<\/h3>\n<p>Dowd \u2014 a Catholic who recently ran for Lieutenant Governor of Texas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2021\/12\/07\/matthew-dowd-texas-lieutenant-governor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as a Democrat<\/a> \u2014 went on to slam conservatives for attempting to &#8220;corrupt&#8221; Jesus&#8217; message of &#8220;love conquers hate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is something that I have tried to talk about: Being a Christian, having grown up Catholic, having been an altar boy and all of that \u2014 how the faith has been captured by a small segment of our society who have tried to define it in a way that Jesus never had defined it, and actually the opposite way of Jesus,&#8221; he argued.<\/p>\n<p><span><\/span>Elsewhere during the discussion, he added that using this kind of messaging is how the Democratic Party can win the culture war and rule the day. <\/p>\n<p>Conservative Christians, however, are unlikely to be persuaded by Dowd&#8217;s interpretation of their Lord and Savior&#8217;s gospel message, which has much less to do with earthly social change than it does heart transformation and the cleansing of sin.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, Dowd&#8217;s assumption that Jesus is no longer alive will certainly discredit his stance among Christians who just recently celebrated Easter, a holiday commemorating Jesus&#8217; rising from the dead. <\/p>\n<p>Though he probably meant to say, &#8220;if Jesus were still on Earth,&#8221; he didn&#8217;t make that abundantly clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd raised eyebrows across the internet this week when he claimed that &#8220;if&#8221;
