On Christmas Eve, outdoorsman and TV personality Bear Grylls took to his X account to make a misleading statement about the birth of Christ, calling Mary "a Palestinian girl" and claiming that she and Joseph were “refugees” when they traveled to Bethlehem. This inaccurate portrayal, which Grylls used to advance a political narrative, quickly garnered backlash.
Ana Kasparian, co-host of The Young Turks, strongly objected to a suggestion by her colleague Cenk Uygur that Vice President Kamala Harris could easily become the next governor of California.
