The hosts ofFox & Friendseither dont understand what a refugee is or havent read their Bible recently.

On Tuesday, the hosts went after the Reverend Al Sharpton for a tweet that he sent out after the recent controversial immigration and travel ban in which he said, Before you head to church today, remember to thank God for his son, Jesus a refugee who fled to Egypt.

Well, thats not exactly accurate, co-host Steve Doocy claimed.

Well, according to the Bible, its really not, agreed Carley Shimkus,proceeding to read tweets, not scriptures, claiming that Mary and Joseph were traveling to pay taxes.

Who gave (Sharpton)his gift certificate to be a reverend? co-host Brian Kilmeade said.

While its true that the Gospel of Luke describes howJesus family went to Bethlehem to pay taxes, its also true that the Gospel of Matthew describes how they fled to Egypt to escapethe Massacre of the Innocents, in which Herod ordered all young boys killed for fear of Jesus.

According to Matthew 2:13,Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.

Whats more, the Catholic Church has officially stated that they believe Jesus was a refugee.We believe that Jesus was a refugee, had to flee to save his life, with Saint Joseph and Mary, had to leave for Egypt, Pope Francis said in 2014. He was a refugee.

Sharpton later clapped back in a Twitter video.I dont know whether my critics need a Bible or a dictionary, Sharpton said. Either way, Ive got you.

In August 2010 under then-Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs, Sharpton had attended a Town Meeting that was broadcast on WBLS and WLIB radio stations. His visit had, according to Plaintalker II, become "the focus of a City Council investigation over a $20,000 fee." Robinson-Briggs was reprimanded in a ruling in June 2012.

In 2013, Robinson-Briggs again invited Sharpton to an event held at a local nightclub as she was running for re-election in her bid for a third term. She lost to Mapp.

Al Sharpton and NYC Mayor Rally With Celebrities Against Donald Trump's Inauguration - Observer

Hours after President-elect Trump offered a salute to the statue of Abe Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., to start his inauguration welcome ceremony, civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton urged the president-elect to have a conversation with the 16th president to get a better grip on what is wrong and right.

Speaking to thousands of anti-Trump protesters gathered in New York City on Thursday, Sharpton assailed Trump for getting upset at Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights icon, for questioning the legitimacy of Trump's Election Day victory after U.S. intelligence concluded Russian hackers meddled in the election process.

He said that after Trump spent years attempting to smear President Obama as "not a legitimate president," now Trump is having a "temper tantrum" about an election allegedly tainted by foreign influence.

"Your politics started by trying to 'delegitimize' the sitting president's nationality," Sharpton said.

Calling attention to Trump's appearance before the Lincoln Memorial, Sharpton said to Trump: "You need to talk to President Lincoln."

He said Lincoln would explain to Trump that slavery and oppression is wrong and that "states' rights whether it's on healthcare, on teachers on education is wrong."

"We're not going backwards," Sharpton declared, before raising up a smartphone and daring Russian hackers to target it.

Other speakers at the rally Thursday evening included liberal filmmaker Michael Moore, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and actors Robert de Niro and Alec Baldwin, who has made several unflattering turns impersonating the president-elect on "Saturday Night Live."

Many of the speakers encouraged attendees and Americans across the nation to take part in "100 days of resistance," a movement started by Moore to push back against Trump's policies.

Although it wasn't an eloquent speech, it was simple and focused on the message that won him the White House.

"As bad as we think it's going to be, it's going to be worse," Moore said, before reassuring the crowd that the Trump opposition is the majority that can keep him in check.

"He will not last the four years," Moore also said.
