Laura Loomer lamented that the new pope āis anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis,ā adding that itās āGROSSā that he now leads the Catholic Church
It didnāt 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 heād 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 āWOKE MARXIST POPEā and complained that he is āworse than Francis,ā referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.
Even before the ādark horseā American cardinal was elected the 267th pope, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon warned about Prevostās views, claiming that he would be a poor choice for the MAGA movement.
I always see excuses from them like āthat should be the role of charityā āthat should be peopleās choice, not forced on them by the governmentā etcā¦
Itās always sad/funny to me that they are ok with forcing the bad parts of their faith on us via the government, but reject the good parts that most non theists would support
