Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) went viral on Sunday for criticizing Christian ads that aired during the Super Bowl.
What were the ads about?
The "He Gets Us" campaign spent $20 million to air two commercials during the Super Bowl.
One of the ads showed people from different background engaged in fights and arguments over politics, religion, and justice issues. "Jesus loved the people we hate," the ad says at the end.
The other ad showed various pictures of children displaying kindness and compassion. "Back in Jesus' day, children weren't regarded the same way they are today. This made his teachings around the value of being childlike countercultural," a description of the ad reads.
"Jesus didn't want us to act like adults," the ad declares.
