This morning, the hosts of “Fox & Friends” criticized Rev. Al Sharpton for describing Jesus as a refugee, inviting Fox News reporter Carley Shimkus to investigate Sharpton’s claims.

Mocking Sharpton for supposedly getting the Bible wrong, Shimkus told hosts Steve Doocy, Brian Klimeade and Ainsley Earhardt that Jesus was not a refugee because, according to the Gospel of Luke, Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem for tax reasons.

However, Shimkus clearly missed Matthew 2, which recounts how Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt with the infant Jesus after an angel told Joseph that “Herod is going to search for the child to kill him. So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod.” After taking refuge in Egypt, the family then returned “for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.”
