Yeah, this is another tendril of American exceptionalism, that we MUST somehow have a link to the biblical era (although some are happy linking the Bible to whiteness somewhere instead). This is where you get Joseph Smith claiming that the Native Americans are the lost 12th tribe, or the Templars burying the treasures of Jerusalem in Canada, or "the British people are the Twelfth Tribe" or whatever.

What's worse is that this is coming from the Communications Director. A spokesperson shouldn't be using language like this, ever, especially if we're still pretending at the whole "government as a business" thing.
Of course, this is how Trump runs all his businesses, so.
