Laura Loomer lamented that the new pope ‘is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis,’ adding that it’s ‘GROSS’ that he now leads the Catholic Church
It didn’t take long for right-wing media figures and MAGA provocateurs to cry out in rage over the election of Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV after it was revealed that he’d publicly criticized JD Vance and expressed sympathy for immigrants and George Floyd.
Despite feeling national pride over the fact that the Chicago-born Prevost has become the first American pope in history, conservative pundits and Trump loyalists fumed over the “WOKE MARXIST POPE” and complained that he is “worse than Francis,” referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.
Even before the “dark horse” American cardinal was elected the 267th pope, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon warned about Prevost’s views, claiming that he would be a poor choice for the MAGA movement.
MAGA hating the new pope is the biggest compliment he could possibly get
Yep I’d be crying with joy if I were him
This is PR to try and make the new pope attractive to young and leftist people. He’s nothing new or progressive, he’s a pedo enabler who told his priests to reject the law and avoid speaking to police investigating his clergy’s child abuses. He’s garbage, just like the rest of them
You know you suck ass when the much-hated Roman Catholic church dunks on you.
Dunk hospital, welcome to the Dunk Ward, I’m your Dunk Nurse today, what brings you in today?
You got dunked on by WHO?!
Conservatives also hate that God’s a woke liberal, too.
Judging by all the stupidity from this administration, Trump is going to ask the pope to step down. Or try to fire him. Or ask Russia to assisinate him.
If MAGAts don’t like him, that gives me a lot of faith in him.
I didn’t care about who the new pope was but he’s getting more sympathetic by the minute.
Whatever is a “poor choice” for the MAGA movement is a great choice in my book. Even if it’s about a religious figure.
He completely ignored sexual assaults.
Sounds like the Catholic Church, alright. But I’m pretty sure the MAGA crowd doesn’t give a shit about that.
This response just tells me it is the correct pope for the job
Your comment shows how strong the propaganda and PR is that they put out an article like this and suddenly you’re liking a guy who enabled pedophiles and stone walls police investigating child sex abuse. He’s garbage
My dude, just because the Catholic Church won’t stop being the Catholic Church doesn’t make a progressive pope a bad idea.
I started off looking at charts of the breakdown of how the major dominations voted, and ended up finding a chart showing how wide a spectrum of “Christianity” has/has had.
MAGA meltdown? No way. They melt harder than a slice of cheese on a patty
molten fake american cheese.
I hope the Swiss Guard are on their toes. I guarantee there are crazy fascists only too willing to try their hand at assassination.
He should excommunicate them all.
Pretty sure none of them are Catholic, which makes it even weirder that they care about the Pope at all.
JD Vance converted to Catholicism 5 or 6 years ago, apparently.
'cause protestantism is a weak-ass religion. Catholicism is where the real money and power is
5-6 years conversion and then killing the pope using his cringe. What a run!
Maybe keep him away from this one? Throw him a nice leather couch to distract him.
Fun fact killing the pope is an instant excommunication. It can be argued that Vance DID kill the pope or speed up his death by demanding that Frank leave the hospital to meet with him, ergo Vance needs to be excommunicated.
Hmm, someone call maga a waaaaahmbulance, it’s nappy time.
Do maga consider themselves catholic?
JD Vance does.
In many parts of the country, the word “Christians” is so associated with Protestantism, it doesn’t even include Catholics. “Are you Christian or are you Catholic?” is actually something you might hear in many parts of the South and Midwest.
No. Catholics are often more left leaning. The with and Midwest are predominantly Protestants - they hate Catholics
