Buttigieg Blasted for Christmas Tweet Claiming Jesus Was a Refugee

"Democratic presidential candidate was blasted on Twitter or his Christmas day message claiming Jesus was a refugee. 
“ 'Today I join millions around the world in celebrating the arrival of divinity on earth, who came into this world not in riches but in poverty, not as a citizen but as a refugee,” he wrote. “No matter where or how we celebrate, merry Christmas.”
"According to the Gospel of Luke, Mary and Joseph were traveling due to a census."And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)  . . .

If the person politicizing Christmas doesn’t believe faith in Jesus is necessary for salvation, if they don’t view the Bible as authoritative, if they can’t even articulate the gospel message, their insistence upon Jesus being a refugee should be the least of their worries—& ours

Mayor Pete needs to go to Sunday School. https://twitter.com/petebuttigieg/status/1209833386459750400
