Todd Starnes: CNN is a race
Leave it to the mainstream media to concoct some sort of wild-eyed theory that President Trump's promise to say "Merry Christmas" is some sort of coded language for white nationalism and white supremacy.
In reality  the entire CNN network is a dog whistle for race-baiting  anti-Trump  America-bashing pinheads. And I said as much on Tuesday’s edition of “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.
Consider this headline from Newsweek: "How  Trump  and the Nazis Stole Christmas to Promote White Nationalism."
" Trump  has been using the so-called war on Christmas to wage a culture war that pits multicultural liberals against Christian conservatives.  He  began doing this long before Christmas. Meanwhile  some members of the religious right support  Trump’s  most nationalist  race-baiting form of political rhetoric  including  his  reclaiming of Christmas " Newsweek declared.
"Wishing people merry Christmas' instead of 'happy holidays' is thus in line with Trump’s decision to ban citizens of Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States  critics say. It fits neatly with his refusal to condemn white supremacists when they march against diversity  and with his condemnation of athletes who protest police brutality against black men " the magazine noted.
It’s because the attacks on President Trump and Christmas have nothing to do with inclusivity. It’s about marginalizing people of faith and silencing Christianity in the public square.
In fairness to CNN and Newsweek  President Trump is sending the nation a coded-message. He's telling us that it's OK to say "Merry Christmas." He's telling us that he understands and recognizes the reason for the season.
