<p>Two prominent Christian groups sent a letter to Politico on Wednesday demanding an apology for a reporter&#8217;s viral comments about Christians that the groups called &#8220;deeply disturbing.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Family Research Council and Catholic Vote criticized Politico reporter Heidi Przybyla for &#8220;trying to demonize the Christian community&#8221; with her comment that only extremist &#8220;Christian nationalists&#8221; believe human rights &#8220;come from God.&#8221;</p>
<p>The groups said Przybyla&#8217;s comments &#8220;demonstrated a disqualifying lack of knowledge of the United States of America’s founding documents and a profoundly prejudicial view toward American religious groups.&#8221;</p>
<p>Przybyla, Politico&#8217;s national investigative correspondent, made the controversial remarks during an appearance on MSNBC last week.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Amazing.</p>
<p>Politico National Investigative Correspondent <a href="https://twitter.com/HeidiReports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@HeidiReports</a> says Christian Nationalists – but not Christians – are united by a belief &quot;that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don&#39;t come from any earthly authority&#8230; They come from God” <a href="https://t.co/vSMWe1nedR">pic.twitter.com/vSMWe1nedR</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Matt Wolking (@MattWolking) <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWolking/status/1761103622648053996?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 23, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Przybyla said that the &#8220;base of the Republican Party has shifted&#8221; after former President Donald Trump attracted a &#8220;more extremist element,&#8221; including &#8220;Christian nationalists.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The thing that unites them as Christian nationalists — not Christians, by the way, because Christian nationalist is very different — is that they believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don&#8217;t come from any earthly authority. They don&#8217;t come from Congress, they don&#8217;t come from the Supreme Court. They come from God,&#8221; said Przybyla.</p>
<p>This is a problem, Przybyla said, because it means &#8220;men are determining what God is telling them.&#8221;</p>
<p>She went on to say that &#8220;natural law&#8221; is a pillar of Catholicism and has been used for good in social justice campaigns such as Martin Luther King Jr.&#8217;s civil rights movement.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1709293736190000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3_j743AYdgcts66MbaqIuT">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;But now you have an extremist element of conservative Christians who say that this applies specifically to issues including abortion, gay marriage, and it&#8217;s going much further than that,&#8221; Przybyla said.</p>
<p>Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Brian Burch of Catholic Vote wrote in their letter to Politico that it is &#8220;deeply disturbing&#8221; that Przybyla seems &#8220;unaware of the opening of the Declaration of Independence or to its references of &#8216;the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.'&#8221;</p>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p>&#8220;Her statements constituted an attempt to spread misinformation about Christians by creating the perception that they hold unique beliefs that pose a distinct and, in her words &#8216;extremist,&#8217; threat to our country,&#8221; the Christian groups wrote. &#8220;Setting aside the inaccuracy of her commentary, she was manifestly trying to demonize the Christian community and sow fear through propaganda.&#8221;</p>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p>The letter added that Przybyla&#8217;s public platform where she can reach millions of people makes the situation even more disturbing.</p>
<p>Additionally, the groups said Przybyla has a &#8220;pattern&#8221; of singling out Christian organizations, as evidence by her recent articles.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rhetoric like Ms. Przybyla’s, which demonizes religious groups, is profoundly dangerous. It can motivate disturbed individuals who may be predisposed to commit violence against faith communities,&#8221; the groups wrote.</p>
<p>The groups said they believe Przybyla’s comments reflect a &#8220;pervasive bias&#8221; that prevents her from covering religious issues.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ms. Przybyla owes people of faith an apology, as does her employer. Politico must confirm that such offensive comments have no place within its organization,&#8221; the groups wrote.</p>
