One of the ad campaigns during the Super Bowl that continues to draw attention pushed neither beer nor snacks. Instead, the two "He Gets Us" spots pushed none other than Jesus Christ. A look at the continuing reaction:
- The spots: One shows Latin American families heading toward the US border and declares, "Jesus was a refugee." (See it here.) Another shows Americans bitterly opposed to each other and declares, "Jesus loved the people we hate." (See it here.)
- Left, right: The BBC notes the campaign has achieved the rare feat of earning critics from the left and right. Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, "Something tells me Jesus would *not* spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign." Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk on the right complains that the "woke tricksters" behind the ads have "done one of the worst services to Christianity in the modern era."
