The phrase “Christ is King” has sparked a heated debate in recent weeks, pitting conservative media outlet The Daily Wire against an unexpected opponent: Jesus Christ himself.
The controversy erupted when Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing declared the phrase antisemitic, prompting a divine response that has left commentators baffled and amused.
Boreing argued that the declaration “Christ is King” carries problematic undertones. “It’s being weaponized by people who hate Jews, and we can’t ignore that context,” he said.
The statement came amid broader discussions about religious rhetoric in conservative circles, with Boreing positioning himself as a gatekeeper of acceptable discourse.
Jesus Christ, reached for comment through a miraculous press conference in the clouds, fired back immediately. “Jeremy thinks he’s the god-king around here, but last I checked, I’m the one with the title,” he said.
The Son of God went on to question Boreing’s self-appointed authority, pointing out that the Daily Wire’s merchandise sales hardly qualify as a divine mandate.
The feud traces back to tensions over how religious identity intersects with political commentary. Boreing has long championed a brand of conservatism that balances Christian values with a rejection of what he calls “edgelord” extremism.
His critique of “Christ is King” as a dog whistle for antisemitism, however, has drawn ire from those who see it as a foundational Christian truth.
“I’ve been King of Kings since before Jeremy’s ancestors were arguing over tax rates with Caesar,” Jesus remarked.
The Daily Wire has not backed down from the controversy. Boreing doubled down in a follow-up statement, insisting that his stance protects Jewish allies from veiled attacks.
“We’re not denying Christ’s kingship, just the baggage some attach to it,” he clarified on X, where the debate has racked up millions of views.
Jesus, unfazed, took a swipe at Boreing.
“He’s out here selling $30 coffee mugs like they’re the new commandments—maybe he’s the one who needs a reality check,” the Messiah quipped. Sources close to the Throne report that Heaven’s PR team is now drafting a full rebuttal, complete with references to Boreing’s beard oil empire.
The Ongoing Beef Between the Daily Wire and Jesus Christ ExplainedThe Daily Wire’s attempt to thread the needle between faith and pragmatism has alienated some of its base, while Jesus remains a figure few dare to challenge directly.
For now, the clash between Nashville and Nazareth shows no signs of cooling off.
