OMG! He was establishing a state religion! Jail him!

I’m Jewish, and I don’t mind that in the slightest.
What I mind is when liberals demonize Jews, call us Satanic, march around chanting “Death to Jews!,” an Islamic mayor refusing to condemn calls for worldwide violence against Jews, and setting up “No Jews Zones” on liberal campuses.
A Christmas message from the WH? It’s fine.

You do realize that none of these people are Jewish.

That’s a rather odd observation. Particularly since you’re far more likely to see the hard core bigots in Trump world describe you that way than anywhere else.
It wasn’t “liberals” who marched in front of a synagogue on Saturday morning yelling
Jews will not replace us”
Especially when it is in tandem with a congressionally established national Holiday. I would expect the President to also properly acknowledge Easter, Hannukkah, Yom Kippur or any other day special to a particular demographic.
Understanding that Americans are mostly religious/spiritual people and acknowledging that as well as promoting their ability to be that in no way is any establishment of religion. Rather it is in the best spirit of what the First Amendment intended.

But when Obama is President promoting Judaism in the White House is fine.

Now, the NY Times has been quite far to the eft for decades, but they have reached new lows.
After all, it is called Christmas, as in Christ.
Well, Christmas is a religious holiday, so that’s not news, but whatever. For instance:
This tweet from the official Homeland Security account is a perfect example, and it probably infuriated progressives who work at the Times. Click the link —you’ll love it— it included a wonderfully sentimental and nostalgic video packed with terrific callbacks to the 70s, 80s, and 90s— and more importantly, it began with the title: “Remember the Miracle of Christ’s Birth.”That was only the topmost gift in a Santa’s sack of official Christmas commentary. War Secretary Pete Hegseth tweeted, “Merry Christmas to all. Today we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya quoted John Chapter 1: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” Assistant US Attorney (and covid superlawyer) Harmeet Dhillon —who isn’t even a Christian— tweeted, “Wishing Christians nationwide a wonderful day filled with joy and peace, celebrating the birth of Jesus!” Secretary Rubio said, “The joyous message of Christmas is the hope of Eternal Life through Christ.”HUD Secretary Scott Turner even used his official X account to read the birth narrative from Luke Chapter 2:CLIP: Secretary Turner reads the Bible on social media, singeing the Times reporters like vampires splashed with holy water (2:10).
It was all just too much for the Times.“Government officials have traditionally steered clear of such overtly religious language,” the Times noted sourly, “as the Constitution bans an official state religion.” What the Times meant is that government officials have “traditionally” been too chicken to mention the real source of the Christmas celebration, out of fear that the New York Times would round up a bunch of mealy-mouthed malcontents and platform them as “critics.”Behold, not only is courage back, but humor as well. When the Times dinged the White House yesterday, asking it to respond to “critics” of all the religious messaging, here was the hilarious response:
The Times printed that, unironically.

The left prefers to celebrate the birth of Christ without mentioning the birth of Christ.
Where in the constitution does it say a govt official can’t say merry Christmas?

No one was marching saying Jews will not replace us. They were referencing the stated and known goal of third world immigration replacing Americans. They were saying "you will not replace us". After all who replaced the former inhabitants of Dearborn. It isn't Jews.
