Candace Cameron Bure left the Hallmark Channel as we all know. She went over with a new channel called Great American Family (GAF) which is reportedly intent on telling stories that may include faith.

That’s one thing about Hallmark is that they don’t really touch very often on the real meaning of Christmas being the birth of Christ.

In recent years, Hallmark has bowed to woke trends and had a number of their Christmas movies featuring gay couples. When asked about whether GAF intended to follow Hallmark’s lead, Bure said GAF was intent on creating content featuring “traditional” relationships.

Cue the outrage:

Well, it’s safe to say Hilarie Burton won’t be tuning in to watch Candace Cameron Bure’s new Christmas movie on the Great American Family (GAF) channel later this month. Bure spoke to the Wall Street Journal about leaving the Hallmark Channel after a decade for a new network that aligned more with her faith.

“My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them,” Bure, 46, said. “I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.”

Burton saw a headline about the Full House alum’s interview and called Bure a “bigot.”

“I don’t remember Jesus liking hypocrites like Candy,” the One Tree Hill star tweeted. “But sure. Make your money, honey. You ride that prejudice wave all the way to the bank.”

JoJo Siwa also weighed in on Bure’s comments. The two publicly exchanged words over the summer after the Dancing With the Stars alum, 19, called Bure the “rudest” celebrity she ever met.

“I can’t believe after everything that went down just a few months ago, that she would not only create a movie with intention of excluding LGBTQIA+, but then also talk about it in the press,” Siwa, who came out as gay earlier this year, wrote. “This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people.”

OK. The anger here seems sorta’ next level when you remember she’s talking about Christmas movies. Point to where Candace Cameron Bure’s Christianity touched you.

I mean, sheesh people. Candace wants to make movies that portray marriage as being between a man and a woman but somehow that’s hypocritical because she’s being paid? I’m a little unclear how that jump was made. And was there anyone unclear about her faith? Had she not made it pretty obvious to anyone and everyone?

To be clear, Bure didn’t call anyone names here. She wants to make Christmas movies that represent Christianity.

But still it’s always a shock, amirite?
