Fox News Pastor Compares The Christmas Tree Fire to Pearl Harbor in Bonkers Remarks

Fox News Pastor Compares The Christmas Tree Fire to Pearl Harbor in Bonkers Remarks
Fox News

The conservative Fox News network remains in mourning after an arsonist set the 50 foot Christmas tree outside of its headquarters ablaze. There's no indication at this time that the man's motives were political, and he was arrested shortly after the incident, in which there were no injuries.

Fox hosts have delivered nearly 'round the clock coverage of the crime, painting the picture of an attack on the network that they assured would be met with resilience. Hosts have said the tree symbolizes everything from "freedom" to "Jesus" to "Hanukkah," with one even calling it "America's tree."


On Thursday night, Fox held a relighting ceremony featuring first responders and words from Fox News contributor Rev. Jacques DeGraff, who delivered potentially the most bizarre exaltation of the tree yet.

Watch below.

DeGraff told spectators:

“Somebody asked me why are you here. I’m here because these colors do not run! Eighty years ago this week, they tried to extinguish the darkness in a place called Pearl Harbor. We didn’t fold then, and we will not fold now because we have come this far by faith!”

Pearl Harbor became immortalized in history in 1941, when Japanese pilots launched an assault on the Hawaii naval base, killing more than two thousand people and thrusting the United States into World War II. The President at the time—Franklin Delano Roosevelt—rightly said it was "a date which will live in infamy."

Social media users didn't think DeGraff's characterization was comparable.






Some used the moment to highlight Fox's repeated downplaying of the deadly January 6 insurrection, when a mob of pro-Trump extremists stormed the United States Capitol.



Not a good look.

Trump Slammed After Brazenly Comparing His Airstrikes On Iran To WWII

President Donald Trump was called out after he gloated to reporters in the Netherlands that his unilateral decision to bomb Iran was akin to the World War II bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that "ended the war"—a declaration that risks worsening geopolitical tensions amid concerns about a wider war in the Middle East.

MAGA Is Utterly Melting Down After Muslim Democratic Socialist Wins NYC Mayoral Primary

MAGA fans and conservative pundits reacted with angry racist remarks after Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist who is also Muslim, handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assembly member, entered the crowded Democratic primary last fall as a relative unknown. But in recent weeks, he surged in the polls thanks to grassroots campaigning, viral social media content, and policy platforms that resonated with younger and first-time voters.
