‘Profoundly prejudicial view toward American religious groups’
By 
Heidi Przybyla of Politico
(FOX NEWS) — Prominent Christian groups sent a letter to Politico demanding an apology for what they call the “smearing of the Christian faith” following comments made by one of its top reporters.
In the letter addressed to Politico’s leadership on Wednesday, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Brian Burch of Catholic Vote slammed Politico national investigative correspondent Heidi Przybyla’s “disqualifying lack of knowledge of the United States of America’s founding documents and a profoundly prejudicial view toward American religious groups.”
The letter, first obtained by Fox News Digital, was in response to Przybyla’s viral remarks last week on MSNBC bashing “Christian nationalists.”
“The base of the Republican Party has shifted, right?” Przybyla said on Thursday night. “Remember when Trump ran in 2016, a lot of the mainline evangelicals wanted nothing to do with the divorced, you know, real estate mogul who had cheated on his wife with a porn star and all of that. So what happened was he was surrounded by this more extremist element. They’re gonna hear words like ‘Christian nationalism,’ like the ‘New Apostolic reformation.’ These are groups that you should get very, very schooled on because they have a lot of power in Trump’s circle.”
