Rev. Al Sharpton has faced backlash on social media for his Sunday tweet saying Jesus was a refugee.

The tweet appeared to be a response to President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration.

Before you head to church today, remember to thank God for his son, Jesus a refugee who fled to Egypt. — Reverend Al Sharpton (@TheRevAl) January 29, 2017

There's one problem though: Sharpton's tweet is not exactly accurate, at least according to the Bible.

As a result, he found himself in the middle of a social media firestorm.

@ALSHARPTON_REV a reverand who doesnt know the story of Jesus. Hmmmm. No surprise. He isnt really a reverand. But we knew that already. — Pamela Jane (@pjul1984) January 31, 2017

Al Sharpton is too old to think. He no longer has a voice of direction. He is just talking nonsense to gain attention. — #pedgra (@CarlosP03356145) January 31, 2017
